Stalking with cameras is an excellent way of getting very close to wild animals in beautiful places and achieving some great photography. It is also an experience which the whole family can enjoy
We have some spectacular wild deer on the Estates:
Balnagown - Roe Deer.

Wildlife that can be spotted includes several different breeds of deer, golden eagles, harriers, buzzards, ospreys and otters.

  Activities  
 

Balnagown Estates are an ideal base for exploring the Highlands of Scotland. Whether you are staying at one of our properties or are visiting the area, we can arrange activities on our three Estates to suit your requirements.

Balnagown Estates offer a variety of landscapes to enjoy, from lowland broadleaf forest at Balnagown Estate, to the rugged wilderness of Duchally.

If you are staying on our Estates, we can arrange your golf at famous local links courses at Royal Dornoch, Tain and Brora.

 
TRADITIONAL AND MODERN COUNTRY PURSUITS
  Woodland to Wilderness  
  Each Estate is unique in its outdoor 'experience'. The surfaced track roads around Balnagown are perfect for cycling and comfortably enjoying the wildlife. Invercassley has a mixture of surfaced roads, footpaths and off-road tracks that take you right into the heather moorland. Duchally is mainly off-road tracks and pony routes across the rugged heather moorland.
