The picturesque Loncroft valley is nestled in the south west edge of the Lammermuir hills - only a 30 minute drive from Edinburgh. Owned by the Sharp family we have had the privilege of shooting Longcroft for the last 30 or so years. Longcroft was one of the first shoots in the country to start shooting partridge on the edge of the grouse moor and over the last 20 or so years we have continually developed the partridge shoot making it one of the finest high quality partridge shoots in the UK. With over 25 Drives to choose from we have plenty of options to test guns of all abilities with birds so high you have to look twice to believe they are partridge while others use the contours to pick up amazing speed before screaming over the valley. With so many different shots available there is fantastic sport for everyone. With drives such as Dead Mans Gully, the Eastside, the Blaeberrys and Blaeberrys Return providing extreme partridge where even the very finest shots in the country often shoot 10 shots to 1 bird or more! As one long standing client said: "THESE ARE NOT FOR CHILDREN." In addition to the partridge we also have some fabulous pheasant drives on Longcroft. With Jimmys the High Rise and the Rearing Shed being the pick of the bunch, each offering tremendous quality coupled with quantity. Longcroft is adjacent to our Thirlestane castle, Lylestane, Tollishill and Burncastle shoots. Which enables us to provide a wide variety of drives whether you are shooting for one day or several.
