About Glenogil
Located in the heart of the Angus Glens, around 40 minutes north of Dundee, Glenogil Estate is one of Scotland’s most respected mixed sporting estates. Steeped in history and covering nearly 3,000 acres of varied low ground, Glenogil offers an exceptional variety of terrain — bracken‑covered slopes, deep gullies and established woodland — that contributes to its reputation as one of the finest driven shoots in the region.
Several of the estate’s signature drives, including The Beaches, The Chair, Glenley, Keillor and St Arnolds, are widely regarded as rivalling the best found anywhere in the country. Strategic placement of the guns in the naturally formed gullies produces superb high birds and consistently exciting shooting throughout the season.
Situated on the fringes of the grouse moors, the estate benefits from bracken and rough grassland that create ideal cover for red‑leg partridge. Partridge days begin in late September, followed by pheasant days from late October, with the estate offering sport right through to the end of the season on 1st February.
Days typically range between 300 and 400 birds, and the estate comfortably accommodates teams of up to nine guns, ensuring enjoyable and well‑paced sport for every line.
Accommodation
Redheugh Lodge, owned by the estate and located at the heart of the shoot, provides first‑class accommodation for shooting parties. Menus are arranged in advance, and guests can expect excellent hospitality and attentive service throughout their stay.
