Shooting

Snipe are available from October onwards and woodcock from November onwards. In recent years, annually as many as 120 woodcock are shot each season both in the forestry and on the moor on two annual shoots the grouse moors per season depending on count in the summer months. In the forestry, there are driven days, elsewhere over pointers. Three day shooting weekends make an ideal winter break.
Walked up grouse and snipe over pointers commences in September:
Duck flighting on our flight ponds can be exciting with good winds

Lettings are Saturday to Saturday

The Estate

Is an all round sporting estate ideal for family parties which can cater for beginners or experienced parties, and has much to offer people not interested in fishing or shooting. The highest mountain on the islands, Clisham, is nearby, a stiff climb but wonderful views. Wildlife abounds, eagles, peregrines, merlins, sea eagles, snowy owls, seals, otters and dolphins may all be spotted. The beaches of Lewis and Harris are a wonderful well-kept secret, and although they are an hour or so away, they are often empty and make a fantastic family outing.
