The Ben Alder Estate mixed game shoot is set in the Allt An’t Sluic glen, a dramatic valley framed by heather-clad hills just outside Dalwhinnie. The deep ridge and varied terrain provides an exciting challenge with a mix of high, fast-flying birds for an exhilarating day’s sport.
Guests are welcomed in the impressive Estate Office Trophy Room – a striking meeting space adorned with rich oak finishes, stained glass windows and views onto Loch Ericht towards Ben Alder. Coffee and a breakfast roll is served before the morning safety briefing, setting the tone for a dynamic day on one of Scotland’s most spectacular estates.
Guests are then guided across five distinctive drives, each offering its own unique character and sporting challenge. There will be single gunning only with elevenses served after the second drive.
Then, following the final three drives, you’ll head back to the Trophy Room for a well-earned two-course lunch to round off the day.
Beyond the sport itself, the Ben Alder Estate prides itself on offering warm Highland hospitality throughout the day. From the moment guests arrive, every detail is considered to ensure comfort and enjoyment. Elevenses are served in the field after the second drive, providing a welcome pause with refreshments before the action continues.
