Driven grouse shooting, where flocks of red grouse are chased by lines of beaters so that they fly over lines of 'guns' that shoot the fast-flying birds, is a peculiarly British fieldsport. It is also peculiarly British in that it is deeply rooted in the British class system. This multi-million pound business dominates the hills of the north of England - the Pennines, the North Yorkshire Moors, the Cheviots - and throughout Scotland. Grouse shooting is big business, and backed by powerful, wealthy lobbying groups, its tendrils run throughout British society. 'Inglorious' makes the case for banning driven grouse shooting.
