Lanarkshire and Renfrewshire Foxhounds held their meet days before new law on hunting with dogs.
It is understood the hounds will be sent to other kennels and the group will continue to operate as a hunt club - holding point-to-point horse races and other social events.The Glasgow Hunt Sabs, who have regularly tried to sabotage the Renfrewshire hunt, called the news a "seismic victory".
She added: "Hunting has always adapted to changes, be it farming practices or other factors out of their control, so mergers and country-sharing remain fundamental to the future of hunting." It is the second hunting announcement in recent weeks, after Fife Foxhounds said they were disbanding for "financial" reasons.Twenty years on from the fox hunting ban, the new legislation tightens the curbs so that hunters can no longer use packs of hounds to flush out wild mammals unless they have a licence.It has made it illegal to chase and kill a wild mammal using a dog. Trail hunting, where a dog is used to find and follow an animal-based scent, has also been outlawed.
