Once a declining population, numbers of Red Deer in the UK have risen thanks to concerted conservation efforts. Valued for their meat, called venison, Red Deer are also kept as ornamental park animals. They prefer woodland, but have successfully adapted to open moorland. Deer stalking, particularly in the Scottish Highlands, is a country sport widely used as part of land management programs.

The Red Deer female is smaller than the male. They live in single-sex herds most of the year, the hinds coming together with stags who compete to control a harem during the rutting season. Hamish has caught her delicate features in his bronze Red Deer Hind sculpture, which is available in limited edition – perfect for wildlife lovers.

This sculpture, together with the Red Deer Hind, was made in the Highlands of Scotland. I spent a few mornings stalking, with my camera on the hill and, thanks to our stalker, I managed to get close to a stag rounding up his hinds. Having researched and photographed these red deer, and while still fresh in my memory, I set up my tools outside the estate larder and sculpted both together.

    Research Trip to the Isle of Ulva

    I have just returned from a week-long trip to the West Coast of Scotland and the Islands of the Inner Hebrides. It took me a while to get there - staying the night in Glasgow, then a spectacular drive through the Trossachs, along the banks of Loch Lomond, and across to Oban to take the boat to Mull. From there I boarded a small ferry, more used to transporting sheep perhaps, to the beautiful Isle of Ulva.
