The Frilly Ghillie

Welcome from Heather - The Frilly Ghillie.

Enjoy your visit.

Being a Ghillie may be classed as a man's job, so when you're female it can be quite strenuous at times. Having said that, I have been known to succeed where many a man would't in what is difficult and sometimes dangerous work.

I earned the nickname "Frilly Ghillie" whilst working with the boys up the hill about ten years ago. Now the name is associated with other works that I do throughout the year.

Being a ghillie is of course seasonal, so I have used my creativity and put my time to good use the rest of the year.

The following pages show you what I do through the year:

Upcoming Shows:

If anyone wishes to meet me to discuss stalking ponies or my hats then I will be available at the following shows. Looking forward to seeing you out there.
