Skye gamekeeper Scott MacKenzie is setting out to cull a red stag. The stags are causing damage to the tenant farmer’s silage fields. He is accompanied by his 16-year-old daughter, Orla, who is studying to follow in Scott’s footsteps. We find a suitable beast among a group lying in the grass, but it’s a long wait for them to stand up before Scott can take the shot.
