Ballathie Sportsman's Lodge is situated in the heart of Perthshire and within 30 minutes of some of the most prestigious sporting estates in Scotland.
World-renowned Royal Estates such as Scone Palace, Atholl and Glamis are within close proximity of Ballathie and provide some of the finest clay pigeon and grouse shooting in Scotland.
Drives and the number of days or guns vary by estate and are held on moor, field and woodland. Many traditional methods of stalking and shooting remain, including the use of dogs and ponies. These are teamed with every modern comfort to make your event something really special.
