Many types of shooting, stalking and hunting are available in the immediate area and the hotel is expert in, fully equipped for - and can help put together, a great package for an individual or a group. Do enquire in advance as while you can shoot something in Scotland 365 days a year, some opportunities are seasonal, you may require to observe certain formalities especially if you are bringing guns from overseas, and as we work with local agents plenty of notice is desirable so that you will not be disappointed. In some cases a minimum number of participants is required. We will guide you though all of this.

Choose from first class bird shooting with driven pheasant and grouse, rough shooting, woodcock and some unbelievable goose shooting. There is also superb deer stalking for red, roe, sika and fallow deer on nearby Atholl Estates, together with a wealth of other sporting activities you can combine such as golf, fishing, hill walking and Munro climbing.
