Field Sports
Scotland offers some of the most challenging game shooting in the world. Whether your taste is for the formality of driven shoots or the more leisurely walked-up days, we can arrange sport in some of the most spectacular surroundings. Grouse, Pheasant and Wildfowl shoots are always popular but Deer Stalking is a particularly fast growing sport. The atmosphere of your sporting day is completed by accommodation in a nearby shooting lodge or castle.
Parties are kept small and are, of course, escorted at all times. Accommodation will be on the estate or at suitable premises nearby. Grouse, pheasant and wild fowl shoots plus deer stalking, are all available at various times during their respective seasons. Clay pigeon shooting is also an option.
