A Wee Dram: A Kildermorie Film

More Than Just a Hunt

Set in the rugged Scottish Highlands on the Kildermorie Estate, A Wee Dram is less about the shot and more about the people behind it. This short film captures the heart of what makes a great hunting trip, camaraderie, shared meals, laughs on the hill, and a few drams at the end of the day.

Joined by close friends and a few Spartan team members, including our founder Rob “Mr G” Gearing, it’s a gathering of kindred spirits brought together by the hunt, but also everything that surrounds it. From glassing in the wind to dragging a stag off the hill, this film is about the simple joys that come with being in the field together.

What Role Does the Right Kit Play?

Success in the Highlands depends on gear you can trust. The SAKO 85 Carbonlight strikes the balance between precision and portability. Its lightweight carbon stock and smooth bolt action make it a favourite among experienced stalkers covering long distances on foot.

Optics matter just as much. The Leupold VX-5HD provides crystal clear clarity and dependable low-light performance, giving hunters the confidence to take the shot when the conditions are far from perfect.

When it comes to steady support on uneven ground, the Springbok Bipod keeps things simple, fast and stable. Built for real field conditions, it gives shooters the freedom to adapt without compromise.

Why This Film Matters

A Wee Dram isn’t about a single stalk or a trophy shot. It’s about what hunting really is, a chance to get out there with people you trust, embrace the conditions, and make memories that stay with you longer than the meat in your freezer.

There’s tradition in this film. There’s laughter, grit, and quiet reflection. It’s about sitting around a fire, raising a glass, and knowing that even if the day didn’t go to plan, you wouldn’t have changed a thing.
