We are delighted to be able to offer some challenging shooting over very interesting topography in the Western Isles. It’s a wonderful opportunity to experience some superb mixed shooting in a very special setting and would suit a team of guns looking for a mini-escape.
The Luing Estate (pronounced ‘Ling’) lies over 9,000 acres of the beautiful and unspoiled islands of Luing and Scarba. Together they offer a large range of sporting options including driven birds, rough shooting, stalking and trout fishing. The walking is superb, with excellent opportunities for wildlife viewing amid the outstanding scenery. Boating trips for sea fishing can also be arranged.
The estate offers early season driven partridge shooting with mixed days mid-season and pheasant towards the end of the season. Luing is also host to woodcock, snipe, mallard and teal, as well as Canada and graylag geese at various times of the year.
Driven days are capped at 250 birds, with smaller back-to-back days available if desired. Rough shooting, mini-driven, duck flighting and wildfowling are also available as additions to a driven day or as a standalone.
Accommodation is provided at WildLuing, a new west Highland safari style lodge with eight en-suite bedrooms finished to a high standard. There is a social space called the “Observatory”, open plan kitchen, dining and sitting room all with beautiful views. Guests can enjoy both catered and non-catered options. Catered options include locally sourced produce from both the farm and island-based fishermen. A selection of hand-picked wines and other refreshment is included in the catered price; however, guests can arrange other options in advance should they wish.
Typical driving time to the Luing ferry is two and a half hours from Glasgow Airport and three hours from Edinburgh Airport. The ferry leaves from North Cuan Ferry Terminal every half hour from 7.30am until 6pm. The crossing is five minutes, and the lodge is five minutes south of the Luing Ferry Terminal. Alternative travel arrangements can be arranged from executive car hire to helicopter.
