For the first time in 400 years, the brutal guga hunt on Sula Sgeir is officially off — a tradition where clans kill and salt gannet chicks for ritual feasting, now halted by NatureScot after new science flagged serious risks to the bird population. Amid protests, vandalism, and even gannet-costumed activists, the Men of Ness feel targeted and bullied, while petitions with hundreds of thousands of signatures show a seismic public shift. Though the law still permits the hunt, this year’s cancellation marks a turning point — and a taste of what’s to come.
