Once part of Gordonstoun Estate, it was sold to the family in 1964. Shooting on the grounds has been happening for 50 years and the game conservancy laid out the Shempston Shoot over 30 years ago. Our keeper, Mr David Barrowman is experienced and eager to please. This season we are pleased to offer 4 driven days (12th November, 3rd December, 22nd December and 19th January). We are situated 36 miles from Inverness and 65 miles from Aberdeen (nearest airports). It is a low ground shoot offering all quarry species to the decerning gun.

Hospitality

Arrive in the morning to have a traditional buttered roll and a hot cup of coffee before heading out. At lunchtime, enjoy soup and sausage rolls. All to be had in the comfort of the Lairds Lair Bothy which is newly refurbished with a wood burning stove, modern kitchen and toilets.

Topography

The Shempston Shoot is laid out by game conservancy over 30years ago. We have areas of game crop and holding woods along with approximately 3 miles of hawthorn hedging. One part of the shoot has the well known local Spynie Canal flowing through it which is great for duck flighting. There will be transport to take you to all areas of the shoot or you can use your own if you wish to do so.

About the hosts

The Shempston shoot has been running for 25 years and is owned by Mr Falconer. Our experienced keeper Mr David Barrowman runs the shoot to the highest standard, with 30 years experience he ensures that a good day by all is had. As a part of our duty of care, we insist that all guns have a valid shotgun certificate.
