The stalking up Glenturret takes place all over, we've had them walking either side of the houses and also walking up/and shooting from the Dam road. Never experienced any problems from them tho, well, apart from once, when my Lab decided that he quite fancied one of the wee bitch Labs there.
I wonder what they where shooting, as there isnt really a big red deer population on the town (Crieff) side of the Ben, even the Grouse has more or less died out over the last few years in that area.
