Shoot at Glenalmond Estate – A one off opportunity

We are delighted to announce that we have secured the shooting at the quite wonderful Glenalmond Estate on an exclusive basis for this season.

Why is this unusual? Because traditionally the shooting is all reserved for the owner and his guests. If you want to shoot this very exclusive, immaculate Highland Perthshire Estate, this is your opportunity. It has not been available for many years and we have no expectation that it will be so again.

On an Estate that can trace its roots back to 3000 BC, sport has a long tradition. We have spoken with a gun this season whose father was a guest when 18 species were bagged in a single day. Tradition allied with the benefit of centuries of sporting knowledge and a deeply interested, caring and munificent owner now combine to deliver an estate where every detail has been thought through and the sport is of the very highest quality.

From walkways that stretch out into the loch taking guns to shaped laurel hides for the evening duck flighting to seats by the pegs for the tired gun, this is a place that oozes finesse.

Drives such as Dallick, Almondbank, Reseed and Louisafield produce some of the most challenging pheasants in a region renowned for the quality of its birds; they are able to test the best shots in the land. Fairy Glen is uncommonly beautiful whilst The Arboretum and River drives offer sport in an almost Arcadian setting.

With more than 30 drives the estate can comfortably cater for double days. The line can be pegged from 8-10 guns, the Head keeper Brian Dickson is very well regarded for his ability to drive game and his insistence that birds should be presented over the entirety of the line not just the lucky few. A typical day will comprise four drives, there is ample scope to adjust the drives to suit a team’s ability and the day will be structured to leave time for a fifth drive should that prove necessary.

Pheasant days with some partridges in the mix are available throughout November and December. January is not currently available but please register your interest. Days start at 200 birds and the bag can be flexed upwards from there. Pricing is £39+ VAT per bird, (£7,800 + VAT per day) and the day includes 11’es and a light lunch.

Dedicated duck days utilising a combination of the seven ponds and lochs are available on the same basis but are priced at £29+ VAT, (£5,800 + VAT).

Days are being marketed to full teams but single guns and part teams are welcome to register their interest and where possible we will bring people together to make days happen.

Attention to detail. Note the seat by the peg as well as some lovely birds.

We can be flexible regarding dates and bag sizes and can build a day or days to suit you. Please call to discuss your requirements.

Accommodation:
We have negotiated a special package for guns to stay at the simply first-class Kinloch House Hotel. This 5 star Victorian Country House Hotel is well used to serving the needs of shooting parties and is situated just outside Dunkeld, within easy reach of the shoot. It provides an excellent base to explore Perthshire and, spouses who don’t wish to attend the shoot will be well cared for. £155 per person per night, dinner, bed and breakfast based on two people sharing, £185 for single occupancy.

Deposit and cancellation policy:
Given the short timescale between now and the commencement of shooting, full payment is required to confirm a booking. In the event that the day is cancelled up to 24 hours in advance, for COVID related reasons pertaining to either the shoot or the team, every effort will be made to agree another mutually acceptable date this season. If this is not possible the shoot fees will be refunded, less a 5% administration charge. Cancellations made with less than 24 hours notice will incur an additional fee for the cost of the shoot day team.
