Synopsis

Heritage of a life spent in pursuit and wonder

My Happy Hunting Grounds is a memoir of sport and natural history told through the eyes of a lifelong hunter and observer. It collects memories from boyhood raids with a gun to careful, measured days of salmon, trout, and game, all set against landscapes from a Scottish castle to Norwegian rivers. The tone is warmly practical and reflective, tracing how rules, respect for the land, and patient study shaped a lifetime of delight in the outdoors.

You’ll glimpse the author’s early lessons on safety and law, hear about hospitable hosts and favorite beats, and ride along on long days by the water with rods, nets, and field notes. The book blends anecdote, landscape, and natural history into a cohesive portrait of a man who loved the chase as much as the scene that framed it.

• Scenes of fishing and hunting at Murthly Castle and other Northern roots that shaped the author’s approach to sport and ethics.
• Detailed recollections of Norwegian river fishing, boat handling, and the rhythm of day trips, meals, and rest by the water.
• Practical passages on gear, techniques, and the balance between skill and patience in pursuit of salmon, sea-trout, and game.
• Observations on wildlife, landscapes, and the interplay of culture and nature in the author’s travels.

Ideal for readers of classic outdoor memoirs, hunting and fishing narratives, and natural history studies.
