Are there hunts like that in Britain where you pay a landowner for a day and go on his property and hunt birds with your dog?
Or use his dogs and maybe a guide or worker there.
Probably not with YOUR dog if you're coming from outside the UK. There are very strict quarantine rules for bringing animals into the country. Can you do a walk-up hunt with a guide (beater) and his dog over there? Yes. You can even go on a walk-up shoot for the same red grouse discussed in the article. A "rough shooting" day over there--talking pheasants and partridge, not red grouse--is not really all that expensive. Compare it to a day at a fancy lodge in SD, where you can't kill any more than 5 pheasants. Other than the cost of getting there, the rough shooting day in the UK will almost certainly be less expensive. If you're over there already for other purposes--vacation or work--not hard to arrange something like that if it's shooting season.
It all reminds me of the movie "The Shooting Party" in which someone opposed to hunting confronts the owner of the shoot (James Mason, in his last film)--who points out that the birds likely wouldn't be there if it were not for the effort and expense to which he goes to have them there.
