Pheasant shooting in Berwickshire

Berwickshire, United Kingdom

Primrosehill  (TD11 3TL) is situated in Berwickshire – the shoot covers over 2,500 acres across 3 farms with the main drives taking place in the steep sided Whiteadder valley. Using bracken beds and cover crops and some well situated woods these are some of the most challenging pheasants and partridges to be found in the country. As an established high pheasant shoot very few birds are out of range, but most are extreme. We pride ourselves in delivering some of the very best days shooting available. For the 2026 season the shoot will be offering partridge days in September and October. We have accommodation available in our local coaching in within Duns 3miles away which is ideal for guns. Reviews from previous days: “I loved the day shooting at Primrosehill and its gets better & better..as a result I can only describe the day as epic” “when I think of some of the birds we saw during the second drive and wandering how one could get proficient at bringing them down” “your unfaltering display of stratospheric pheasants was truly remarkable and I can only apologise for the fact I was utterly outclassed” “in the first drive the birds were the best I have shot all season” We are a traditional shoot – it’s about the quality of the day and the sport on offer, coupled with the way the day is run.

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. We have several fantastic accommodation options available with the just completed Magnificent Lylestane House only 1 mile down the road providing the highest levels of accommodation only minutes from our finest drives. New from 2014 we also have limited availability at Burncastle Lodge. Owned by the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland, the newly completed lodge offers fabulous accommodation in the centre of our shoot. We also have several great hotels within a 30 minute drive to choose from, with the best being The Roxburghe Hotel and Golf course near Kelso, Tillmouth Park near Coldstream and the Dryburgh Abbey at St Boswells.

We can also provide limited mini driven days, walked up Grouse days and Mixed rough shooting.
