Abercairny Estate is a renowned sporting estate in Perthshire near the town of Crieff. The estate has some of the best mixed sport on offer in Scotland with a grouse moor and low ground shoot as well as deer stalking and salmon fishing.
Rough/ Mini-Driven/ Species Day:
To include small drives and some walking-up for a maximum of 8 guns.
A rough day is about quality rather than quantity, experience rather than numbers… the bag is typically between 20-60 birds and we charge for the day regardless of the actual bag. The bag may include pheasant, partridge, woodcock, snipe, pigeon, duck (Mallard, Teal), plus red grouse according to season and the gamekeeper’s discretion. Catering on the day is included. Each gun will be offered a brace of game from the larder at the end of the day.
Red Deer Stalking:
There is now no close season for stags but we will stick to the traditional 1 July – 20 October/ hinds 21 October – 15 February.
Roe Deer Stalking:
The season for bucks is 1 April – 20 October and does 21 October – 31 March.
Simulated Game:
We present an exhilarating full day’s shooting of upwards of 3000 launched clays using actual out-of-season pheasant, partridge, and grouse drives and stands with our mobile automatic clay traps to challenge a minimum of 8 guns and a maximum of 16 guns. Bookings accepted generally for days in mid-March to June but any date can be considered by request. Catering on the day is included. See also our separate 'Abercairny Estate Simulated' profile.
Please contact us for further details, pricing, and bookings.
Nb Logiealmond Estate will be managing the bookings for all our fishing and (200-250 bird) driven pheasant days for the Winter 2025-2026 Season onwards.

Topography
The in hand shoot on Abercairny revolves around the stunning heather moorland, in-bye pasture, woods, and ponds of Buchanty, Fendoch, and Connachan Hills bordered by the River Almond to the north and centered on Loch Meallbrodden above the village of Fowlis Wester.
Conservation Efforts
Abercairny Estate maintains a ‘low impact’ sporting policy integrated with our farming business. We believe that game and wildlife management is the foundation of good conservation and that field sports can contribute substantially to the conservation of landscape, habitat and wildlife.
Our Moorland Management Plan includes: vermin, deer and bracken control; muirburn mosaics; the creation of hedgerow wildlife corridors; buffer areas and water margins along agricultural land; wader scrapes; rush pasture cutting; and the planting of wild bird cover and Black Grouse friendly woodland. All this allows both game and non-game species such as waders to breed and flourish in a unique habitat for the benefit of all.
