The Call of the Rewild

A rich businessman announces plans to re-introduce wolves to his Highland estate advocating the benefits of predators helping to control red deer numbers. By Kieran Lynn.

The last wolf in Scotland was killed in 1680. When a rich businessman announces plans to re-introduce wolves to his Highland estate he advocates the benefits of predators helping to control red deer numbers, a boost to tourism, and an increase in forestation. But he needs to convince the sceptics, including local sheep farmers who fear his wolves will prey on their livestock and threaten the survival of a way of life that鈥檚 lasted for generations. By Kieran Lynn.
