Combine the best the Highlands has to offer with a stay at the Glenmoriston Lodge and a trip to the Craigiehowe shoot.

The Shoot

Perched on the peninsula between the Moray Firth and Munlochy Bay, Craigiehowe is 10 minutes drive to the east of Inverness with spectacular views over the Black Isle.

The topography at Craigiehowe lends itself to producing testing partridge shooting from the beginning of September. Driven pheasant and partridge shooting runs from the beginning of October until the end of January.

Craigiehowe's caledonian pines and silver birch trees are used as vantage points by cormorants, red kites and buzzards. Several ponds on the higher ground are home to ducks, which often come through the drives with the pheasant and partridge.

Drives have been developed to test guns in a variety of ways, ranging from the standard high, fast, straight pheasant, to fast curlers, to a drive with birds coming from three directions. Another drive sees partridge coming at grouse height (just off the ground) down the beach, with the chance of a second barrel at a high pheasant lifting off the Shore Bank.

Apres

Under the same ownership as Craigiehowe and situated on the banks of the River Ness at the heart of Inverness, the Glenmoriston Lodge is a magnet for discerning travellers visiting the city.

The opulent Glenmoriston Lodge is the perfect place to warm up and unwind over one of our extensive list of over 180 whiskies and 80 cocktails after a shoot, golf or any other activity.

And it comes with unrivalled service. Staff will pick you up from the airport and tell you all about the various opportunities available to you in the Highland capital. Our two high profile French chefs, trained at Michelin starred restaurants, are available to you at all times and will cater for your every need.

The Glenmoriston Lodge houses 15 lavishly furnished bedrooms as well as a luxurious suite of interconnecting rooms with flexible options for meetings and events. We are available for short, medium and long-term bookings, so a combination of the Craigiehowe Shoot by day and the Glenmoriston Lodge by night is perfect for those exclusive corporate outings.
