The guga hunt on Sula Sgeir has been officially banned by NatureScot, ending a centuries-old tradition rooted in Viking heritage and vital to the remote Ness community’s survival. While animal welfare groups hail it as a triumph for science and compassion, locals fiercely defend the ritual as essential to their cultural identity, even accusing campaigners of intimidation and vandalism. The decision, based on population models showing potential harm to gannets, leaves the door open for future applications — but for now, the poles and nooses are silent, marking the end of an era for this unique Scottish practice.
