Just Because

British Pathé Deer Hounds

A few months back I was searching on the British Pathé Movie archive for any possible historic deerhound footage but to no avail. Well, in the way of the workings of the wonderful wide web, the site administrators keep their eye on the search criteria and have obviously decided to upload this marvelous little historic ditty, perhaps finding my search request.

Miss Richmond and her Scottish Deerhound kennels.

I know the blog postings of late have been a little bit video-centric but this is because the medium suits. As the newsreel says - the dog of the old Scottish chieftans is coming back to favour.

Just click on the image below and enjoy.

Rogue and Rascal Enter a Movie Competition

The little video above was thrown together over a five day period and was submitted to the Virgin Media Shorts film competition. In the montage sequence, both Rogue and Rascal appear albeit in a very subtle way (see if you can find them). We leave the interpretation of the story to you and we are running a supplementary blogspot to the movie here.

If you like it or if you don’t - why not visit the virgin media page and leave us a comment - or even better ‘like’ us to your social media page and share the movie with friends.

Rascal after a days work

Rascals First Post

Today Rascal picks up the torch and fills out his first blog assignment with a visit to Cochrane Park in Alva to bring you the Scottish Deerhound class from this most spectacular of settings. The morning began with a dreich covering and a smiddgen o’ rain but soon borst into Glorious sunsh ine. But enough of the weather reports let’s visit the show and we’ll let all the photo’s do the talking.

Rogue
