Hand reared pheasants who are raised free range on the Estate's beautiful grounds. Our ducks and ducklings also nest free range by the river and on our various ponds around the Estate.

We are proud to offer high flying birds from various stratospheric opportunities around the Estate, riverside drives and 3 stunning flight ponds where dogs can retrieve.

The Mayen topography is known for its stratospheric bird opportunities. Delivering high birds from the elevated landscapes, and scenery.

In our fifth year of pheasant and partridge shooting at Mayen, we are delighted to welcome Mr Terry Lindsay as head Gamekeeper. This year we are also pleased to add ducks to our shoot on 3 different flight ponds. Guns can expect fantastic shooting including drives across the river, both challenging and sporting for the guns and retrieval dogs.

Guests will enjoy a relaxed day of Shooting with a very warm welcome from Alfie, Valerie and our Hosting Team.

Guests will enjoy relaxed formal dining throughout the day, with traditional quality Scottish foods and a selection of local whiskies and drinks.

We are located 1 hour from Aberdeen Airport with close proximity to Huntly Train Station.
We do advise due to our rural location that the best mode of transport to Mayen is by car and we are happy to privately discuss transportation options.

Mayen Estate is a magical setting, of lush green rolling hills and a peaceful atmosphere, yet just a short drive from the Banffshire Coast. Quaint fishing villages, golden sandy beaches and ice cream shops await. The North East of Scotland has much to discover. You’ll be perfectly situated to explore Scotland’s castles, our world-famous whisky distilleries and our majestic landscapes.

The landscape was awarded the Alistair J Lilburn of Coull trophy for Scotland’s Finest Woodlands; presented by the Royal Highland and Agricultural Society. The woodland integrates seamlessly with the surrounding farmland, including individual parkland trees, riparian woodland and hedges which combine to provide a landscape pattern and a framework for habitats.
