Drynachan

One of the ultimate partridge shooting destinations in the world.
A more beautiful shoot is surely impossible to find.

Cawdor Estate, Scotland

About Drynachan

Situated on the banks of the River Findhorn, 30 minutes from the town of Inverness in northern Scotland, Drynachan, part of the Cawdor estate, is one of the premier driven partridge shoots in the UK.

The shooting is superb – high partridges with fantastic variety between drives – and stunning scenery to boot. It’s difficult to find drives elsewhere in the world that will match ones like Red Burn, Daless and Peat Road.

Another great tradition of the estate is that your bag is always laid out at the end of the day thus giving teams the perfect photo opportunity.
The Estate covers some 70,000 acres and thus incorporates eight separate grouse beats and 55 lines of butts. In the last few years major investment has taken place on the moor which has meant that some teams have recently opted for a combination of both grouse and partridge days. This makes for the perfect few days of high quality sport.
