Major Neil
Ramsay has pleasure in describing some of the services, estates and
accommodation that are used in our hunting programmes.
I have been active in the
arranging and letting of fieldsports in Scotland for 41 seasons. As a result
of this experience I am able to offer a variety of driven pheasant programmes
being conducted on estates mainly in Tayside but also in Fife, the Borders and
southwest Scotland. These programmes are equally suitable for corporate
entertainment or for private enjoyment and are based on teams of 7-8 guns.
The programmes can be varied
but initially they are principally for two or three days duration, it being
believed that a two day shoot, where possible on a Friday and Saturday, is
most suitable for those flying from the continent or from London.
They are mentioned subject to
availability. A visit to our gun and accessory shop followed by attendance at
either Gleneagles or Dunkeld House Hotel's shooting schools may be arranged en
route from the Airport for those shooting in Tayside or Fife.
Once you have examined the
following information it will be helpful if you call Major Neil Ramsay on +44
(0)1738 443344 and discuss you specific requirements. We will then be able to
send you a programme specially prepared for whichever schedule suits you.
Unless requested otherwise our main
charges include the following services:
Group transfers between airport
and accommodation
Group transport between accommodation and shoot
Provision of transport on shoot
Services of supervisor
Provision of keepers and beaters and appropriate staff on the shoot
Provision of ammunition
Lunch for Shooting Guests
Temporary Game Licence & Personal Liability Insurance (for overseas
guests)
Temporary Weapon Import Permit (for overseas guests)
Contribution to Game Research Funds (1%)
Bad Weather Shoot Cancellation Insurance (4.5%, this may be negated)
Accommodation (which is priced separately)
AIRDS & HENSOL Situated in Galloway in southwest Scotland and midway
between Castle Douglas and St John's Town of Dalry, Simon and Anne Ingall's 2
day shoot is conducted over an interesting mixture of terrain designed to show
quality birds for discerning guns. The programme can be extended to 3 or 4
days by shooting on Mr Hope-Dunbar's Banks Estate on the eastern shore of
Kirkcudbright Bay.
BANDIRRAN Sir Iain Lowson's Perthshire estate is a beautiful shoot and is
impeccably managed by highly experienced head gamekeeper Angus Begg. This
estate also has the ability to offer some interesting driven partridges.
BRECHIN CASTLE The Earl of Dalhousie's shoot which lies to the west of
Brechin and also further north near to the town of Edzell is another property
with which I have been associated for nearly 30 years. Accommodation is in the
castle itself and programmes exceeding 1,000 birds in 3 days are offered.
CARDNEY Leased by Hendry, Ramsay and Wilcox this shoot near Dunkeld in
Perthshire is annually improving under the guidance of head keeper Dennis
Hubbard.
CORTACHY The Earl of Airlie's long established shoot is managed by head
keeper Mike Nisbett and is located in the area of Cortachy Castle to the north
of Kirriemuir, Angus
EDRYDYNATE Arguably the most scenic of all our shoots and always heavily
booked, Michael Campbell's property is situated in beautiful Strathtay
FEDAL Fedal is effectively an off-shoot of Humphry Spurway's operation at
Harburn only 12 miles from Edinburgh Airport. At Fedal in Perthshire his son
Mark runs an excellent operation near Dunblane.
GANNOCHY Owned by Mr Derald Ruttenburg, Gannochy Estate in Angus which is
always heavily booked is probably amongst the half dozen most challenging
properties in Scotland. It is controlled by vastly experienced headkeeper
Matthew Ramage.
GLAMIS CASTLE The Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorn's shoot is managed by
outstanding headkeeper Ron Carr who's famous father, the late Jim Carr, was
head keeper at Brechin Castle. Luncheon is taken in the old dungeons of the
castle or may be taken in the main dining room. Glamis is the former home of
Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother and lies in Angus.
GLENDYE & FASQUE Charles Gladstone, great-great grandson of the famous
Victorian Prime Minister, does a quite outstanding job running the pheasant
shooting on these combined estates which are in Kincardineshire.
HARBURN Harburn, already mentioned along with Fedal, is owned and run by
extremely energetic Humphrey Spurway who also provides accommodation for his
shooting guests in Harburn House. This is a most professional operation and is
only 12 miles from Edinburgh.
KINPURNIE Sir James Cayzer's property is managed by the estate factor Simon
Laird and highly experienced headkeeper David Yule. I have known this estate
as indeed all the others for many years. It is on the Perthshire/Angus
boundary.
OTTER Located at Kilfinan on the eastern shore of Loch Fyne, Argyllshire
and approximately one and a half hours drive from Glasgow airport this very
scenic estate offers interesting shooting over 2 days. A duck flight is
included at no additional charge.
PEARSIE A few miles north of Kirriemuir the shoot at Pearsie run by estate
factor Norman Ogg is conducted on extremely testing and scenic terrain and is
always totally reliable.
ROSSIE PRIORY The Hon. Caroline Best's south facing property lies in the
foot hills of the Sidlaws between Perth and Dundee. It is very well managed by
Headkeeper Simon Wilson.
ROXBURGHE The Duke of Roxburgh's enormous estate is at Kelso beside the
River Tweed in southeast Scotland with one day shooting in the Lammermuir
Hills. Both Rawburne and Floors days are particularly challenging. A third day
may be requested.
SCONE PALACE I have been associated with the letting of shooting on the
Earl of Mansfield's estate for over 30 years and with regards to the driven
pheasants there are 3 different areas each managed by their own keepering
staff. As would be imagined these operations by a leading Perthshire estate
are impeccably managed.
SOUTH ESK The Earl of Southesk's shoot takes place in the immediate area of
Kinnaird Castle and is situated in the county of Angus to the east of Brechin
TEASES Sir Frazer Morrison's estate in Fife is another shoot that is
superbly well run with total reliability. It is normal to provide days of
between 150 and 250 birds.
We will recommend accommodation in an establishment that we consider most
suitable for the type of programme that we are offering and most convenient
from a distance standpoint.
AIRDS HOUSE Airds House, a Victorian shooting lodge carefully modernised to
retain its original character can accommodate 8 couples in 4 double and 4 twin
rooms. There are 5 bathrooms so a degree of sharing is implied.
BRECHIN CASTLE The home of the Earl of Dalhousie is the accommodation
specified for those undertaking shoots on Brechin Castle Estate.
DUNKELD HOUSE Set on the banks of the River Tay, this the flagship of the
Stakis Hotel Group, is very convenient to many of our shoots and has its own
shooting school layout under the control of Ian Marsden, a former winner at
the Commonwealth Games.
DUPPLIN CASTLE A private establishment with superb food and wines offered
exclusively for groups of maximum 12 visitors.
FARLEYER HOUSE Formerly the home of Major Neil Ramsay, Farleyer has been
turned into a magnificent country house hotel. Situated 2 miles to the west of
Aberfeldy, it is particularly well geographically suited to programmes
conducted at Edradynate.
FERNIE CASTLE Situated in Letham near Cupar this is the ideal base for
shoots conducted in what is still known as the Kingdom of Fife. Partly dating
from 1530, proprietor Marshall Stevens has brought this hotel up to an
excellent standard and has recently been awarded an AA red rosette for the
quality of its food.
FLOORS Floors, The Duke of Roxburgh's home, is the largest occupied
dwelling in Scotland. It's accommodation can only be described as ducal.
GLENEAGLES Scotland's only 5 star luxury resort complex which together with
its famous golf courses is only 15 minutes from Perth
HARBURN Only 12 miles from Edinburgh Airport, the imposing mansionhouse is
set in the midst of Harburn Estate.
KILFINAN Owned by Otter estate the hotel has its origins as an old Coaching
Inn and has provided food and shelter for travellers for over 100 years. Its
vaults date back to an earlier structure built in the 16th century.
KINFAUNS A dramatic castellated building 2 miles from Perth. The property
has recently been purchased and refurbished by Mr James Smith who has long
experience of the hotel industry in the Pacific region.
KINLOCH HOUSE Situated 3 miles west of Blairgowrie, this excellent
establishment superbly run by the Shentall Family is an ideal base for many of
our shooting parties.
KINNAIRD This luxury country house hotel lies 15 minutes north of Dunkeld
and provides service of quite a remarkable standard.
THE ROXBURGHE Formerly know as Sunlaws, the 22 roomed hotel now with its
own golf course stands comparison with any of Scotlands leading country house
hotels.
Accommodation has been shown as being most convenient to the relative
programme. For nearly all shoots in Tayside, lodgings may be specially
requested at Gleneagles Hotel, Dupplin Castle or at Kinnaird.
We look forward very much to be able to make arrangements for you and to
this end therefore we feel it important to be able to speak to you at an early
opportunity. Accordingly all parties who are interested in any of the above
programmes are requested preferably to call and speak personally to Major Neil
Ramsay on (+44 ) 1738 443344 or alternatively send a fax setting out exactly
