Glenlethnot Estate

Glenlethnot estate is a highly productive small moor of 3000 acres within easy reach of the A90 between Dundee and Aberdeen, on the edge of the Angus Glens with the great shooting estates of Hunthill, Milden and the Gannochy Punch Bowl on the boundaries.

This region of Scotland has seen a recent resurgence in grouse numbers due to the inward investment that has taken place by the estate owners.

The estate has a track record of 500 - 600 brace annually but we are expecting to improve on that due to changes in keepering staff and infrastructure.

Guns meet at the newly built Log Cabin, adjacent to the Keepers Cottage at Dykehead, for a warm welcome from the Glenlethnot staff. A comprehensive updated road system means that Guns can easily reach the butt postions on the hill by their 4 wheel drive vehicle, or the estate can accomodate non-driving guests. The terrain is  typical of a dry, eastern moorland, and makes for easy walking. There is an Argo available at all times to assist Guns with themselves or their Guns and cartridges as well as delivering butt sticks on each drive to the Guns.

Lunch is taken at the Lunch hut on the hill with far reaching views to the Montrose Basin, preceded by a champagne elevenses provided by the owners.

At the end of a good days shooting, Guns head down the hill to the Meeting point for afternoon tea and cake.

The owners of the estate usually run the day in conjunction with the Head keeper.
