I don't know where you lads get your information from because it is not well informed, Ian Woods certainly does not own or run UK Traps that company is run by the enginnering company that supplied all the traps to Pro Trapper.
I think this is a very grey area, the law says that the trap needs to be housed in a natural or artificial tunnel but there is no guidance on the size of the tunnel. I think it is left to judgement of the trapper what they deem suitable.

It would appear that solway feeders are selling these illegally then??
Although the Collarum is not yet approved in Scotland there is nothing to stop them selling it as long as it was not used by there Scottish based customers.
Only the Aldrich Spring Activated Animal Snare is licensed and this can be used “only for the purpose of killing or taking large, non-indigenous,
mammalian carnivoresâ€.
I use a solution from Snowdonia Taxidermy Supplies, just flesh the skin and immerse in the solution for around 48hrs this will give you and excellent soft tan. Oil to finish.
