Nestled in perfect seclusion on its own peninsula, Lochnell Estate is a spectacular place. Surrounded by the sea on three sides and with far-reaching views towards the Isles of Lismore, Mull and Kerrera. They host a wonderful example of the surviving Atlantic Rainforest, largely untouched for hundreds of years, and have been pursuing a native woodland replanting scheme for over forty years which is now well established. They are continuously working to improve the habitat of the increasingly wide variety of wildlife that calls Lochnell home.
Lochnell Castle is a historic estate on Scotland’s west coast just a few miles north of the port town of Oban. Due to the spectacular coastal setting looking out over the Atlantic towards the Isles of Lismore and Mull, you will enjoy breathtaking views whilst on your peg
The topography of the shooting grounds is a mixture of native oak woodland, heather, rocky coastline, and beaches. The partridge days will be organised in such a way as to keep the birds moving, typically contouring the landscape to provide fast and testing birds. A few drives will evoke similarities to short sharp driven grouse drives.
Your day with us will begin with a meeting in the hall of the castle for morning coffee and being met by the shoot captain, who will give you the rundown of the day plan and provide a safety briefing. After the morning drives, you will return to the castle for a home-cooked lunch provided by the castle’s housekeeper, with all ingredients sourced from the estate or surrounding area. A few drives after lunch will conclude your day. Returning to the castle for the final bag count, game cards were issued, and tea and cake were offered.
Group accommodation can be arranged, this will be discussed in the group chat before the event.
