8 Portia Simpson
Gamekeeper, 24
Lives Aberdeen, for now.
Who she? One of Scotland’s few female gamekeepers. Spent two years working at the Ardverikie estate (which features in Monarch of the Glen) and just finished a stag season at Letterewe estate in Carn More, near Inverness. Starting work at Conholt estate, west of London. Modelling also beckons. Portia has been asked to endorse Barbour clothing.
Conquests Nothing to speak of.
Haunts Crawling across sodden heather.
Pluses Drab? Nah. She always wears make-up.
Minuses No chance to impress her with fine wining and dining. Her most recent accommodation lacked electricity, and she bunked down to read each night by candlelight.
Do Cook her venison, which she adores. And be outdoorsy.
Don’t Be queasy. Disembowelling deer is part of the job. And no smelly feet, she hates that in a man.
