Partridge & Pheasant shooting in South Scotland

Driven Pheasant & Partridge shooting

The UK is the spiritual home of driven bird shooting. Nowhere else in the world is there to be found the combination of superb birds and tradition that elevates a sporting experience into a unique social occasion. High curling driven pheasants rocketing downwind over deep wooded valleys, driven partridges flaring over high hedges or driven grouse contouring over heathery slopes are the stuff of shooting dreams.

The Driven Shooting

Especially Southern Scotland is an exceptional destination for outstanding pheasant, partridge and driven grouse shooting. Our Partner Andrew Case has been arranging bird hunting packages in Dumfries and Galloway since 1988 for clients from the UK and oversees, and has established excellent relationships with local sporting estates and accommodation providers whom together work closely to ensure a first class hunting trip and a truly memorable Scottish hunting experience for all their clients.

Many high-quality private estates are available for pheasant and partridge shooting, all providing excellent sport amidst dramatic landscapes. We also have access to some of the best grouse moors in Southern Scotland. Driven grouse days can be for eight to nine guns in the line and we may have room for individual guns in certain lines.  

We are delighted to offer exclusive hunting packages for groups of between two and nine guns, but we also provide plenty of single gun options. Located in Ayrshire, on the west coast of Scotland, our hunting experience includes high quality driven birds, walked up mixed game shooting and famous Galloway Red Stags on superb private estates.

Over the years, we have a history of welcoming hunting parties and a variety of country sports groups to the Resort and we look forward to making your trip truly memorable. All trips are planned and fully escorted by our experienced Team and tailor-made to each group requirements.

The Blairquhan Castle - The Castle is situated in the heart of the Ayrshire countryside. This magnificent example of stunning Regency architecture is more than just a property; it is part of Scotland’s rich heritage. With well-established grounds and a beautiful walled garden, Blairquhan Castle is the perfect choice for those with a discerning eye.

The castle as it stands today was completed in 1824. However, the original tower-house was erected on the site back in 1346 and, remarkably, only four families lived on the estate from that date until 2012 when the current owners bought the property.

Make no mistake, having your own room in a castle as beautiful and historic as Blairquhan is an impressive statement to make, but we like to do things a little differently here. Despite the obvious grandeur of the estate we aim to keep things understated and simple, rather than opulent and extravagant; classy, not flashy.

This is portrayed best by the 15 bedrooms within the castle. Each one has been individually designed in a sumptuous, yet elegant fashion that will make you feel right at home from the moment you arrive. You have the choice between one of the five grand rooms which have original two or four-poster beds to welcome you, or the ten other deluxe bedrooms that make up our accommodation here at Blairquhan Castle. Whichever you choose, you will not be disappointed. Every one of the bedrooms has tall sash windows that open up to stunning views of the surrounding grounds and the Ayrshire countryside beyond. Beautifully spacious, each room has either a super king or king size bed for you to fall into at the end of long day. Be warned though, our bed linen is so luxurious that you may struggle to get up at all the following morning!

We are offerning many different options - so please contact us for an individual offer and program.
