Kirsty Cousins, based near Canonbie in Dumfriesshire, is another business women celebrating International Day of Rural Women.

Provides specialist dog training and breeding, as well as services for shoot days, Kirsty operates all over Scotland. She established her business, Gorton’s Gundogs, over ten years ago and has never been put off despite being one of the few women in the field.

Kirsty says: “I’ve been totally passionate about dog training since I was ten years old and I never wanted to do anything else. I think women have to prove themselves to a certain extent when they are starting out in this line of work but things have worked out well and we are always busy.

“Women are doing these jobs and making a major contribution to the economy but that isn’t perhaps always recognised. I am lucky that my husband supports me and does the secretarial work for the business and a lot of the cooking and cleaning, that is really invaluable.”

  1. Have you ever considered about including a little bit more
    than just your articles? I mean, what you say is valuable and all.
    However just imagine if you added some great graphics or video clips to give
    your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images
    and video clips, this blog could certainly be one
    of the most beneficial in its niche. Amazing blog!

    web for more information about the issue and found most people will go along with your views
    on this web site.
