SHOOTING at cawdor

A Highland tradition

For over 150 years, Cawdor Estate has hosted driven grouse, partridge and pheasant days across some of the finest landscapes in the Highlands. Shaped by long-term moorland management and experience, sport here is conducted with discretion, fieldcraft and respect for the land.

Days are arranged by private enquiry and are best suited to small, well-matched teams seeking a classic Scottish sporting experience.

After a day on the hill, parties may return to Drynachan Lodge for larger gatherings, while smaller groups often base themselves in one of the estate’s holiday cottages nearby or slightly further afield.

Season & Ground

Our season typically runs from August to the end of January, with days arranged around weather, ground conditions and the wider estate calendar. Shooting takes place across approximately 11,300 hectares of moorland, with well-managed stocks of indigenous red grouse, as well as partridge and pheasant. Rough shooting may also be available, depending on the time of year and the day’s plan.
