Dell Estate shoot is set in 7,000 acres of magnificent countryside alongside Loch Ness. Dell shoot is in the 'Field' magazine's top 10 shoots in Scotland, and one of the 50 best in the country. Some of our experienced guests have described Dell as the most beautiful shoot they have ever been to. We specialise in spectacularly challenging partridge shooting, with bags from 100-400 available. We can also offer stalking for red and sika deer, as well as walked-up grouse and smaller walked-up days, which can include pheasant, duck and woodcock as well as partridge. Many of our guests say the partridges are the best they have ever experienced. The scenery, with open hills dotted with native birch and oak and 13 lochs as well as Loch Ness itself provide a stunning background for your stay. Our Headkeeper Colin Barclay and his team of experienced beaters will ensure that your sport is unrivalled. The lodge at Dell has recently been refurbished and provides a very private, comfortable base for a mixed week of sport for up to 16 people. There are 3 ensuite bedrooms, 7 further bedrooms and 3 further bathrooms. There are also two other cottages sleeping 4 (this one can also be added to Dell House) and 8. The hill lochs and River Fechlin are ideal for catching your breakfast trout and there is first class salmon fishing close by on the Findhorn, Moriston, Garry and Oich.

**Standing majestically at the northwest edge of Europe, the Outer Hebrides is a 150 mile-long island chain of beaches, moorland and mountain. Lewis, the largest and northernmost of the islands supports thriving populations of grouse, brown trout, red deer, and migratory populations of woodcock, sea trout, and Atlantic salmon. For most of us, the opportunity to shoot grouse is one of those pipe dreams, a distant possibility for that day when all the bills are paid. The classic and sustainable way of shooting the king of game birds, grouse over pointers can turn dreams into a reality. Lewis offers shooting accessible to all pockets, provided you can keep up with the pointers.** **If migratory fish are your passion, Lewis’ diversity of fishable water bodies means no matter the vagaries of weather and water level, there is always fishable water. Lewis is one of the last places where a MacNab is still feasible: red stag, brace of grouse and Atlantic salmon in one day.** **It’s a rural myth that woodcock live in the trees: long heather provides cover, making these challenging birds a sporting target when flushed over dogs on the open hill. Besides being home to a resident population, Lewis is on the Scandinavian flight path, luring woodcock in numbers to shores warmed by the gulf stream.** **The second punch in this left and right is provided by the smallest bird on the quarry list, the snipe. The Hebrides are a paradise for these elusive waders, with 15% of the UK’s freshwater surface area to 1.3% of its landmass. The combination of speed and diminutive size makes this among the most testing of birds. Using a variety of accommodation to suit all group sizes and pockets we can tailor a trip to meet the demands of your group**

Pitmain Estate is a diverse all round sporting estate of uncompromising quality. The hill provides first class driven grouse shooting over three beats, and walked-up grouse over a fourth.  The land rises from 720 feet along the River Spey to 2,880 feet at the top of Carn an Fhreiceadain, with the undulating terrain and change in altitude giving spectacular driven birds.  The ground is divided into four beats, with the Home, Middle and Dulnain beats providing driven shooting.  The fourth beat, Ballochroan, is used for walked-up shooting although it does have some historic butt lines.  Each beat is serviced by a well connected hill road network which has been substantially improved over the last few years.  The estate can accommodate back to back driven days. A typical driven grouse day would comprise of 3 drives in the morning, a hot two course meal, served in well maintained heated bothies and a further 2 drives after lunch.
