Our hand-reared hind Thistle, born on the Isle of Rum over 28 years ago very sadly had to be euthanised in January. She was able to provide us with some valuable scientific information which we hope may eventually prove beneficial to other deer. You can read her story below. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e7fa0e4203e40ed8d8dbc0/1649846708243-96N991RC54UEWBXUKCBV/DSC01623.JPG Home - NEWS At the end of the rainbow … Our white red deer under the rainbow this spring celebrating the growth of new antlers and the recent delivery of our white red deer to create two new herds. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e7fa0e4203e40ed8d8dbc0/f20ba5c3-abdf-4d3c-9b2e-4beee6dcf7a0/john-fletcher-deer-farmer-vet-author-historian-expert-witness-scotland-uk-europe-home-bbc-ramblings-radio-programme.png Home - John recently appeared on BBC "Ramblings" Radio.

I have been a trustee of the charity Give a Kidney charity whose objective is to raise awareness that it is feasible for most of us to give a kidney and contribute to saving a life. We believe that if everyone was aware of this possibility then enough people are sufficiently generous that we could prevent anyone dying waiting for a kidney – at the moment at least one person dies daily waiting for a kidney. Visitors to NHS Scotland hospitals may have seen this poster of me that helped to promote organ donations.
