Deer Stalking
A Highland Tradition, Timelessly Delivered
Few experiences capture the spirit of the Scottish Highlands quite like traditional deer stalking - a pursuit that blends patience, precision, and a deep connection with the land.
Perthshire offers some of the most evocative stalking terrain in the country, with rolling heather moorland, ancient woodland, and mist-draped hills providing an unforgettable backdrop. Red deer are the most iconic species in the region, and during the autumn rut in particular, the experience is nothing short of cinematic.
For an authentic, traditional experience, Drummond Estates offers guided stalking across its historic Glenartney and Invergeldie estates. Guests are accompanied by experienced ghillies, with opportunities for hill stalking in wild, untouched settings.
