Glen Dessary Estate offers some of the most exciting deer stalking in Scotland with steep high ground and panoramic views of the West. It is not uncommon to get a stag at over 2,500 feet and to climb through the mist that suddenly lifts to reveal views of the islands of Rhum, Skye and the Outer Hebrides.
The deer herd is carefully managed with highly selective culling, herd counting and a program of winter feeding to provide a steady number of mature stags during the season. Guests are accompanied by an experienced, qualified stalker who will endeavour to ensure an enjoyable adventure and successful outcome. The Estate’s 15,000 acres can accommodate two separate stalking parties working in different areas.
Stalking parties of up to 15 guests can either book the Lodge with full catering or alternatively, we can accommodate smaller self-catered parties of up to 6 guests in the Bothy.
The Estate’s stag season is from mid-August to the 20th of October.
We also offer hind stalking with up to two parties a day. The Estate’s hind season runs from the 21st October to the 20th of December.
The estate offers a peaceful and scenic venue for traditional trout fishing, from its clear rivers to the estate’s lochs. Whether casting from the bank or exploring by boat, guests can enjoy a classic Highland experience in unforgettable surroundings.
Brown trout fishing is available in the two main estate rivers and also a number of lochs. Guided boat fly fishing is also available at a daily charge, on the extensive 10,000 acre Loch Arkaig with the assistance of a local expert. All fishing equipment is provided; forward booking is advised to ensure availability.
Private fly fishing lessons are available for guests wishing to learn or develop their skills on the river.
Lessons are suitable for complete beginners and more experienced anglers alike. Instruction covers casting technique, reading the water, fly selection and safe handling of trout. All equipment is supplied and sessions can be tailored to individuals or small groups.
Whether you are an experienced angler or a complete novice, the waters of Glen Dessary provide a peaceful Highland escape with some truly rewarding fishing. The surrounding scenery ensures that every session on the river or loch is as memorable as the catch itself.
