Do we speak the same language?


Sorry, I keep forgetting ..its the generic name for the pack ponies up in Scotland that were (some times still are) used to get the Red red off the hills/ mountains..

At one stage most of the Red deer shot on the Scottish hill would have been extracted either by Garron or simply dragging them down to where a LandRover could accesss.

These days, the use of ponies is the exeption, Quads,and Argo's and other ATV's being a far more common method.

That said, a few of the big Estates still use garrons especially during the stag season, mostly out of tradition though...
