The art of stalking is fast becoming the most fashionable of all country pursuits. In recent years Scottish sporting estates have seen red deer become an increasingly important commodity within the local economy, not just by providing quality sport, but also by supplying a delicious high quality sustainable meat for the restaurant trade.

The stalk itself is by no means the highlight of a day spent on the hill. Both you and your professional stalker will encounter some of the most unique and awe inspiring landscapes, boasting an abundant diversity of wildlife. During the course of the day your stalker will educate you on the flora and fauna in the local area and provide you with an interesting insight into the ways of highland life.

Nothing quite beats the sheer thrill of creeping up on a wild herd of red deer, which will vanish in the blink of an eye, should they pick up the faintest scent of the pursuer or catch the slightest glimpse of your advance. Crawling over a highland peak, you will witness first- hand the skill that is required to bag the legendary stag.

Many of our chosen estates boast an array of private salmon rivers and hill lochs, which can provide for fantastic fishing and an interesting alternative from stalking. Hiking, mountain biking and photography are all well worth participating in and are excellent ways to admire the incredible beauty of these unique landscapes. If none of the above tickle your fancy then why not simply relax in one of our stunning lodges and have a massage with one of our award winning therapists. 

An Escape to Scotland provides so much more than just the stalking itself. Our sporting estates have been chosen on the grounds of their exclusivity and first class service. Each of our lodges offer the upmost privacy and are all run with the highest standard in mind.

Playing on some of Scotlands finest golf courses, sampling a dram of your local whisky, or awaking to the glorious sound of the local piping band are just a few experiences that can easily be incorporated within a Scottish Escape.
