A new law in Scotland will mean anyone wearing a sporran will need a licence. Sporrans are usually made out of badger or otter fur and the new legislation means those wearing one must prove the animal whose fur was used was killed lawfully.
The new law means anyone who owns a piece of any protected animal such as bat, mole, lynx, or hedgehog must obtain a licence. The fine for breaking the law could be up to £5,000 and 6 months in prison. The new law brings Scotland into EU guidelines.
Family heirlooms made of any protected species will also require a licence to prove they are legal.
och, kg. Tell those people to keep their greasy mitts (and insane laws)off your sporran!
I do like the kilts.
Och aye! But the sporran now has to be licensed by the EU. No kidding.
