Duck shooting in Perthshire

Multiple Locations

We are not sporting agents that send you, we are hosts that take you to experience a week of driven shooting together.

Perthshire, United Kingdom

Borland & Whitehouse Shoot offers challenging and dramatic shooting surrounded by stunning hills, lochs and mountains. One of the first shoots in the UK some 25 years ago to develop shooting high pheasants off heather tops, using hand feeding techniques. This shoot is a hidden gem 90 minutes from Edinburgh and Aberdeen airports and 45 minutes from Dundee, and 35 minutes north of Perth. We offer very flexible packages and are always delighted for shoot party leaders to come and inspect the shoot. Just post an enquiry and we can meet up or discuss your requirements. Our shoot produces some of the finest early shooting in the UK with tremendous early pheasant days in October and November, often off heather tops and banks.  This is because we rear and release our birds more than a month earlier than the majority of shoots, delivering great early shooting.  Our focus is on challenging guns capabilities in spectacular scenery. As the season progresses into December and January we mix heather bank drives with woodland drives out of sitka and mixed spruce. The shoot is located 12 miles north of Blaigowrie, 28 miles north of Perth and around 70 miles from Edinburgh Airport.  Dundee Airport is about 20 miles or 40 minutes away. The shoot sits on the boundary between Perthshire and the Angus Glens, in the beautiful glen of Glenshee.  The shoot lies about 1 mile east of the main A93 road up to the Spittal of Glenshee, starting at an altitude of 1000 feet, with ground ranging up to 2,400 feet on the Estate. For those travelling from afar and wanting two days shooting, or some walked up before your main day this can easily be arranged. A house is also available, the Whitehouse and this and its cottage next door can sleep up to 12 people in comfort. There are also nearby well known hotels, The Bridge of Cally Hotel, Dalmunzie House Hotel, Kinloch House (Blairgowrie), Lands of Loyal Hotel(Alyth), and Meikleour Arms, Fife Arms Hotel (Braemar) all of which offer good accommodation to suit a range of budgets. The shoot was listed in 2018/19 in Brian Martin's book as one of "The Great Shoots", one of only around 10 selected in Scotland. One of our drives, 'The Crags' is the front cover of the November 2013 Field. Angels at 12 'O' Clock and rated by many guns as one of Scotlands 'must do' drives. To see the cover, go to the Field web site and search the above issue. The shoot has also been featured in the  Scottish Field, see the Article named 'Attempting Everest'. the shoot has also feature in The Shooting Gazette, and in Country Sports.  All driven shoot days include, elevenses and lunch in our warm and cosy shoot room, and extra lunches for additional guests can be requested.

The Logiealmond Estate is an exclusive shoot with very few let days released. Our days range from 150-200 birds with Partridges only in September and October and mixed days of Partridges. Pheasants and Ducks in November, December and January. Our Drives are sporting and challenging with birds being driven over deep gullies, woodlands and off our low ground Moorland hill sides. Past Guns have described our birds and drives as Exhilarating, exciting and great fun. Our day starts at our Logiealmond Shoot Lodge where guns are met by a roaring fire, tea/coffee and a Breakfast roll. We will explain about the day, talk about safety and you will select your peg numbers. We will set off at 9:15am to the first drive and our three full keepers will provide you with an excellent day. After two drives we will serve Elevenses of Estate Venison Sausages, Soup and a tipple or two for those not driving. We will then shoot two more drives and have dinner back at The Shooting Lodge. We normally shoot through on The Estate but Guns can choose. We are very flexible on which days we shoot so the choice is yours. At the end of the day you will be given a brace or two of oven ready birds. Want to stay on the Estate? We are also able to offer accommodation to guns wishing to stay at our totally refurbished or newly built farmhouses, cottages or Barn Conversion, this can be on a Self Catering or Fully Catered basis.
