Dundarave Estate Gamekeeper Ian honoured for 30 years guardianship
Ian’s career at Dundarave started 1987 when he was appointed by Sir Patrick NcNaughten to act as gamekeeper for the 1,300 acres estate.
Ian had planned to spend just a few seasons in Northern Ireland, before returning to his original home in England, but he fell in love both with a local girl and the County Antrim locality.
