I see that the guest who doesn't give a rat's ass {is that legal?] seems somewhat put out to learn that some hunts leave the horses at home.
Kendall:- Hunting with a pack of dogs is banned in Scotland and has been for about a year. They get round it the same way as some of the English packs are now doing by having a couple of guys riding quad bikes, and armed with shotguns, following the hunt. They are there to despatch the fox if it is cornered, to stop the dogs killing it, and breaking the law. We have our on parliament in Scotland now, and while it is hamstrung as to what legislation it can touch, we can still make our own laws on certain things. The anomoly in the UK is that Scots law is different to English, and this goes back to the union of the crowns under James VI and I, where Scottish law was ruled as untouchable by the English parliament. All subsequent laws passeby a UK parliament apply in Scotland, but where they clash with existing Scots law the old law takes precedence.
