- In Episode 11 of our Suit to Shoot Series, Kirby Allison begins his first proper day on Craigsanquhar Estate. First up, his incredible $60,000 Purdey shotguns are being delivered and assembled onsite, before Kirby has the opportunity to meet renowned gamekeeper George Elliott. George manages the shooting on both Craigsanquhar and Birkhill castle estates, and is widely regarded as one of the best gamekeepers in Scotland.
George invites Kirby to come out for some Clay pigeon shooting to get some practice in with his new side-by-side shotguns, before the real driven shoot day comes tomorrow.
Then finally, George takes Kirby out on a tour of the land, to get a real sense of the incredible work of a Scottish gamekeeper.

The honesty in showing the missed clays in admirable
There wouldn't be much footage if they didn't show the missed ones haha 😇
That’s true.
people acting in the comment section as if they are deadshot..
People in the comment section not understanding cheeky banter...
@@aumenarys ja ja in t😮😅
As a Conservation Officer in the US, I love seeing videos like this where there is the joy of the hunt and the conservation aspect as well. To many people think that hunters are just out there to kill. They don't understand the balance and the sanctity that most people put into the sport. 99% of hunters are more about the preservation to maintain the resource for the benefit of future generations.
The filmmaking this is terrific ! Such high quality for UA-cam it’s like a proper tv show. Hats off to you Kirby ! Very informative and interesting.
Very good, but no matching flat cap?
Yes!!! We are almost to the actual shoot!! This series deserves an award!
@killwill83 why comment and be a troll? If it’s not for you then don’t watch and comment! I grew up in New York and this is something unfamiliar to me and I truly enjoy this series and this channel! Maybe try watching something in your IQ like SpongeBob.
@nja 😂
@@RamblingVlogger cry
@@jsnipn I’ll leave that for you to do but thanks! GTFOH
@killwill83 and that just shows your complete ignorance.
I admire Landrover for putting so much effort into their adverts. 👍
😆
There was a Landrover? I must have missed it more than Kirby's marksmanship.
6 in total
They were very subtle… you Must look closely 😂
Didn’t you know all British country people drive luxury cars😉😂
The way Mr America bought those barrels to the action made me wince !!!🤔
The first conversation was fascinating! Seeing a tailor and a gunmaker, two very different professions, finding similarities between their crafts and talking with great interest and respect was a joy to watch.
This has been outstanding Kirby. Seeing two crafts come together and discuss how they work in unison for their client. Watching you learn how to shoot side by side. To the gamekeeper with so much knowledge, care and admiration to his country, flora and fauna. My God, what an experience... ❤️🇦🇺
Kirby's next career move, film maker for National Geographic. An outstanding series all around. A side note: loved the details of Simon's suit in the close up shots. Also Kirby with the jacket on and the collar up, George with his shirtsleeves rolled up. Probably a nice balmy day for him.
Simon's a natural in front of the camera. Glad that he's part of this
fascinating and with a nice show of humility on Kirby's part when it came to the learning curve. This series is turning into a true classic.
Hello from Paris, one of your most beautiful vidéo. What a beautiful country Scotland is. Thank you for sharing these beautiful moments with us.
Good solid comments, sir!
And glad to see Paris has calmed down from that spate of ugly violence from a few years back. It broke most everyone's hearts to see that in a city that everyone loves do very much!
Beautiful series Kirby - so well done.
(a brit) I started watching kirby as banter to be honest and did laugh at some videos but this was beautiful as half scot we occasionally get to go up and visit family but they're aren't many places more beautiful than Scotland, and to be honest if kirby did an hour long on game keeping and land it would be up there with some of the best nature documentaries, amazing cinematography and the knowledge shared I've got to say apart from cigar vids this has to be my favourite and lets be honest as someone from my neck of the woods would say that is a 'dirty' view, the Loch the land simply stunning
GREATEST SERIES IVE SEEN IN A VERY LONG TIME ON UA-cam, KINDEST REGARDS BEN FROM NZ 😉❤️👌👍🔥❤️🔥🌍🌍🌍🌍
I can’t imagine the production cost of all of this. It’s absolutely amazing you’ve blown it out of the part Kirby
Thank you for taking notice of that! We put a lot into our videos, from investing in high quality video equipment, to the filming, and especially the editing. And that is all before we travel somewhere to do the filming.
Hopefully, this all adds up to better content and more compelling stories.

Such a privilege to shoot such beautiful guns. Those Purdeys are exquisite. Great to see you learning the side by side.
Admirable ! So well done ! Thank you for the content, Mr. Kirby !
Fantastic as expected. Hats off in particular to the sound design throughout, terrific work. Such a pleasure to see this world presented in a clean, raw way.
Thank you for yet another great video, I thoroughly enjoyed it. All the best from 🇳🇴
Amazing Kirby many thanks for sharing your journey
Regards David Probert 💙
Great work, Kirby. Looking forward to the shoot. I hope you enjoy an appropriate sized cigar during one of the breaks.
Mr. Elliot has such passion and knowledge. Way to get in the groove with the Purdey, bet you had a sore shoulder Kirby.
Scotland is amazing, the landscape is breathtaking.
What a series. thank you Kirby.
This is amazing. 28k views is insane. This deserves 2.8M
Remarkable series. Thoroughly enjoyable 👍
Mr. George is a wonderful person. In few words explain the importance of his iob, the and passion for environment and animals. And, not list, the importance of the community.
His respect for the land and the wildlife is truly inspiring.
I’ve been waiting for more of this series
Didn't think much of the guns until thst slow mo detailed. So beautiful
This is amazing spreading our wonderful sport to the public 🙂
Such beautiful guns, and to use them on a stunning estate like that is the icing on the cake. It's brilliant to see my chosen sport being promoted in such a manner and the gentlemanly and indeed ladylike manner in which those of us who shoot conduct ourselves and appreciated by Mr Allison.
Kirby - catching up on these series and I gotta say, the stuff you've been putting out this past year with these travel series has been top-notch. Really well shot and composed. I like how you let the video breathe. You're taking your time to savor the moment. No rapid-fire cutting. Very well done. Your crew is excellent. I hope you're putting them up in nice accommodations while traveling!
This series is fantastic
Practice and repetition is the key to progression in Everything you do, respect to Kirby for not editing out all the early shots
Another great video Kirby, great series, great presentation, keep it up 👍🏻😊
A great video. The Purdeys are absolutely glorious! Truly, works of art.
Sounds like he’s just borrowing them. Based on what the rep said.
@@flyingirish31 Yes,probably,and I am not surprised. As I'm sure you know, the cost of that pair would be astronomical! I was also impressed with George Elliot,the gamekeeper. A solid chap I'd say. Looking forward to watching the shoot. Very best wishes. Philip.
Filming and editing are top notch
Beautiful and thoroughly enjoyable film Kirby!
Everything well made including Kirby.
Very beautiful. Thank you for this video! Very high quality content.
Dear Kirby, absolutely love your channel. Very nice videos and you are a true gentleman. One small remark. Its brakes my heart the way you closed the gun. With so much force! It has a thumb switch so you can guide the closing into a very smooth procedure. Please! You were carrying a beautiful piece of precision and craftsmanship. Threat it very gentle. Kind regards. Daniel
Love it kirby, having spent the years between 18 and 25 living and working on a shooting estate in southwest Scotland I spent many hours shooting clays with clients to while the hours between stalks or drives away let me tell you missing them is par for the course for someone who's inexperienced for one and not used to a side by side for two! This series brings back some very happy memories and now being a collector of fine cigars your chanel as a whole is a pleasure. Hoyo de monterrey epicure especial being my cigar of choice.
Thankyou kirby loving the whole series 👏
This was fantastic in all respects. Thank you!!!!
I stay not far from Craigsanquhar estate in north Fife and have been there a few times over the years. Wonderful place to visit. Fantastic production, well done.
Very well done all around, Kirby. Your hunting attire was amazing and of course those shotguns are masterpieces. Those tweeds are something special. Production value was off the charts. I hope you conclude the hunt with cognac and stogies fireside. Be safe and good hunting!!
Sipping cognac is Scotland?
Not likely! Is it?
Not any more than folks there drinking an Amercan bourbon or a Tennessee whiskey!
It would be a Scotch whisky or nothing!
Maybe Aberfeldy or a Glenfarclas! There are very good whiskies there that are just never exported due to small bottlings but that are quite excellent nonetheless! (The same is true with Champagne! Many champagnes are never exported because they don't produce 500,000 bottles a year, minimum. Many times a small estate vintner has a real advantage, over the behemoths, with their products. Absolutely! Do not over look or dismiss smaller operations! Or do but at your own disadvantage!)
Your perseverance is admirable Kirby, not just the stress of being inexperienced in shooting, but the stress of being with other much more experienced people who will be judgemental, and of course the youtube audience that certainly pull no punches!
I hope the other guys on the shoot made you feel welcome and at ease.
I wish he’d just admit he’s inexperienced at shooting. Instead of trying to front that it’s the gun difference. His mechanics are the issue. Not the gun.
But yeah, he didnt shy from putting it all on film which is more than a lot of UA-camrs would do.
@@flyingirish31 Possibly the difference between clays and rifle range - I've friends in the US who spend many hours shooting static and panning left to right targets and know firearms inside out - but shooting clays was a totally new experience to them.
@@Rroff2 I shoot long range rifle too. Yes it’s a completely different type of shooting. But I’m guessing Kirby is a novice at that too.
This was me when I first tried clay pigeon shooting. It's harder than you think. I probably missed more than Kirby.
This series has really been something special, I am inspired to start up a historical based channel and see where it can go. Thanks again Kirby, for letting us come along as you share things that you are passionate about.
I like how much they went into the fit of the shotguns and how much it matters. I have measured several dimensions in the stock of shotguns I own and have started to build a good data point of what is best for me.
what a stunning journey kirby... great!😉👌🛡
I’m so glad that editing didn’t make you a dead shot. I’ve not shot clays for 30 years and it’s not easy. How come nobody told you how to say Edinburgh? It’s close but no cigar
I love these videos, great series ❤ Just the way he’s closing that poor gun like it insulted him 😂
Well done Kirby. I come from a shooting family myself for 20+years , great series.
Lovely video Kirby, a very good job!
Great video !!! amazing environment. George is a wonderful game keeper
George is a wonderful man! Period!
Kirby is the man or should I say the perfect gentleman.
Yet again Kirby an outstanding production. So pleased that you are now taking part in the outdoor persuits for which your clothing has been made. Now for the elocution lessons to get you the voice for when you are here. Joking with you of course! I have thouroughly enjoyed this series so far, well done and thankyou.
A work of art
kirby, you are a true gentleman! thanks to you and your content team for sharing these amazing experiences with us! love it
As always, stellar content
awesome series
Wow....Kirby might not be able to top this series, keep it up if u can :)
Mr. Allison, I would like to say I admire your videos and the outright professionalism they convey. Though I must say what I truly enjoy and respect about you and your content is how it displays, in this day and age, an old fashioned and rare caliber of respectful and distinguished person. I am not a part or involved in this space of bespoke items and the like that you inhabit but it inspires me to be a more respectful, respectable and refined man. I thank you for setting an example that I feel helps me along my journey through life.
Very interesting and well done!!!!
To own an estate such as the ones shown here and keep it in my family for generations is a dream of mine. Hopefully I live long enough to see it through. Carpe Diem.
You gave respect to the firearm, my compliments to you.
Love your content. Amazing
Your videos are TV quality. Thank you for the content, Kirby.
TV quality HD image, without all the ridiculous TV drama, yelling, and loud music overlays. Even better!!!
Great series!
All this beautiful countryside is just ½hr along the road from me 🙂.
I actually did my gamekeeping training at the local college in Cupar.
Great episode 💯
Love it!!!
Absolutely beautiful episode Kirby! As a born highlander scotsman, I'm so proud to see someone like yourself from our friends across the pond coming to see our traditional ways! Congratulations and thank you!
Superb! 🤌
Brilliant Kirby..!
...And don't worry I missed my first clay as well.
Just the first, but thats ok..! 🤗
Kirby has such an Agent Cooper vibe. Love it
On the next series, Kirby Should make a collaboration with Hugo Jacomet from Sartorial Talk. Now that guy got some crazy more modern taste on suits. It should be fun to watch.
Such a pleasure to see excellent craftsmanship still being appreciated. I've wanted a classic English side by side for a good while now. This is a wonderfully aesthetic video.
Superb Kirby!
I would suspect the problem you were having, Kirby, is that the Purdy SXS has a prince of wales straight stock. That is very common for that type of shotgun, especially with double triggers. If you are used to an over under, your cheek rest will be different. The height over bore needs to be very low for the SXS. So, it’s just basic geometry; if your head is up too high over the bore, your eyesight angle will intersect the shotgun bore at the front sight, causing you miss pretty much every time.
This has to be one of the best UA-cam series ever made. Well done for putting the missed clay pigeon shots in too, would have been easy to edit that out, but made the episode so much more authentic.
Thank you! 🙏
Absolutely stunning, can't wait for next episodes.
Such a fine piece of craftsmanship that is! Quality products are usually expensive, but you definitely get what you pay for, and especially with bespoke, you get something you can call your own.
Many many thanks for the time and effort you have put into this and the other videos of yours I've watched so far. I'll be making the time to watch these vids and feel confident I'll revisit them.
Fantastic video!!
Quite an expert in his shooting suit,“ what’s this here?“ snap cap ,doh😂
Brilliant series...this outshines so much on tv or streaming services these days. This truly is educational and interesting
Just a couple of points:
Never wear new boots to a shoot, especially deer-stalking. Game keepers love to take clients in new boots for a good, long walk to break in their new boots😂
When closing a shotgun: grip the barrels with your left hand and run your right hand along the underside of the stock to close it.
Practice mounting the gun i.e. bringing the stock from your waist to your shoulder in one movement.
This series is becoming as epic as the Lotr trilogy extended version
Omg those guns!!🧐😳🤤🥹
Great series mate. I’m back on peg on the 22nd! This is getting me right in the mood.
My High School actually had a trapshooting team and I was lights out at every station except for some reason the right-most. Never figured out why. Trap shooting is a lot of fun though.
It’s fine if you can’t find a 5 stand, skeet, fitasc, or Sporting Clays course.
Thank you so much this wonderful series Kirby! Makes me proud to be British seeing all the fine heritage of our country. May I ask did you purchase this shotguns or where they lent. Truly wonderful craftsmanship
Once this series is done we need a sequel; "Hats To Horseshoes: The Royal Ascot"
Not a bad title!
I would start my initial aim higher. It takes some time, but it's a blast even if you miss a good bit
Kirby, honestly: astonishing film and video quality. every shot is well thought, the narrating is great, and you can truly see how much effort you put into those kind of videos. found your channel through the cigar content and stayed for everything else. Keep up the grind brother
The matching Adidas tracksuit will forever be the professionals choice of shooting attire.
There is some validity in the trouble swapping from over-under to side-by-side. My first time shooting skeet I was using an over-under, and it was just intuitive. I had a much harder time acclimating to the side-by-side when I tried it later. I'm sure it would have been easier if I were a better shot in general. I think that is probably Kirby's problem here. He seemed to be struggling with the mechanic of sighting the target smoothly. You can see him hesitate toward the beginning of his line, which was probably putting him behind the clay.
