A buddy of mine is looking at hunting Scotland. The estate he talked to told him that he would need to have hunting liability insurance. Is that common over there? Any idea where he’d get such a thing? His insurance carrier over here had never heard of it.

Commercial outfits should have commercial insurance but there are some people who don’t have such.

What I’d suggest is joining BASC for £65 year which is a shooting organisation that includes insurance.

If he needs any help I am more than happy to assist.

Thanks!

Every Estate that I have Stalked on in Scotland has required the same thing.

BASC is an option, another is the Scottish Gamekeepers Association, I prefer the SGA myself. But either will give you the insurance you need.

I think the Countryside Alliance do a half price (£30?) offer to cover visiting hunters.

I am not sure if it would cover a US citizen and resident. No one in the states offers this insurance, I have looked for our clients going to cameroon. In the end the operator in cameroon arranged the insurance.

Hunting Liability Insurance is common in most European countries.

Here in Germany, proof of insurance is required to renew a hunting license.

Simply do a Google of Scotland and Hunting Liability Insurance and you will find something suitable.

No, they will not care about nationality, just who and when.

All the british shooting organisations that offer insurance will cover foreign nationals whilst hunting in the UK.

There are plenty of choices and I tend to use SACS.
