A goose-shooting guide who brought hunting parties to Scotland was involved in cross-border traffic in heroin, funnelling the Class A drug into Fife.
Alan Croston regularly travelled from his home in Wigan, Lancashire, to look after clients, including a Pakistani government minister, seeking to shoot wildfowl in the Fife area.
However, Croston became the target for a police surveillance operation, code named Rumba, which snared heroin worth up to £200,000 on the streets, along with more than £25,000 cash.
