We are thrilled to be working with Guns on Pegs again to offer you our new look at the agency experience. Charles Brownlow Ltd are a small and most importantly independent sporting agency. Our estate search services are done on your behalf, we are paid by you. This gives us maximum coverage with the ability to use estates not normally open to paying agency fees or even going to other agencies on your behalf. This means we do not need to shoe horn you into an estate on our books. We offer guests 14 years of agency experience in Scotland and over 30 years of personal experience of fishing, shooting and stalking all over Scotland and the UK. We offer mixed sporting holidays, short sporting breaks, days in the field and many other outstanding sporting packages. Since 2011 we have also run the world famous Game Train Scotland which offers guest the best in UK field sports experiences. We follow The code of Good Shooting Practice and it forms part of our contract with our guests. We also assure that there is an onward market for the birds shot on any days shooting. How and why it works: 1) We find and book an estate following the normal agency timeline, guiding you through the process as much you require. The only difference is at this stage we will agree a finder’s fee for Charles Brownlow Ltd based on your requirements, these range from £50 to £2000 but tend to be in the £250 - £300 mark. We have been trialling this for the last three years and have found it works well, it gives you the guest peace of mind. 2) Once we are agreed and provisionally booked your holiday/days sport I will introduce you direct to the estate. Your tenancy agreement and invoice will come direct from the estate. We invoice you for Charles Brownlow Ltd’s finder’s fee once you have paid your deposit and signed the tenancy agreement. This means you have security that your money has reached the estate and your day is secure, you will have a very clear idea of the agreement you have with the estate. 3) Charles Brownlow remains your agent in the run up, during and after your trip in the same way any other agency is. We are an agency built on passion for the countryside, we have no investors or massive overheads that put us under pressure to shoe horn our guests into trips. Being small and independent gives us the ability to give our guest advice that is in their interest without an eye on our bottom line. We also understand that pushing you take the highest birds and the biggest bags is not in your interest, rather more we focus on the day.
