We have an arrangement to offer guests shooting for a variety of game at the nearby Ayton Estate, one of the most outstanding arable shoots in the Scottish Borders. The shoot encompasses some 4,000 acres of arable land and 600 acres of woodland with a release plan of 7,000 pheasants and 2,000 partridge. Driven pheasants - Renowned for its high pheasants, the shoot produces 100 to 400 bird days with an average price of £24 per bird depending upon the season and total bag. Duck flighting - The estate offers four flight ponds with plenty of wild duck coming in from the North Sea. An evening’s duck flighting can be arranged for 2 to 10 guns and can be combined with a day’s driven pheasant or rough shooting. Prices vary depending upon the season and number of guns. Rough shooting - A day’s rough shooting will present challenging shots for woodcock as well as pheasant, partridge, duck, snipe, wood pigeon and ground game. A day can be arranged for 2 to 8 guns. The average price is £140 per gun depending upon the number of guns and whether dogs are required. Stalking - The Ayton Estate produces some excellent trophy bucks. The prices per beast for roe bucks are £300 up to a bronze, bronze £400, silver £520 and gold £620. Please contact us for further information, availability and prices. |
