Scotland

A Unique Country Sports Destination

Scotland is renowned internationally as a world class sporting destination that offers visitors outstanding sporting experiences amongst stunning and dramatic scenery.

Welcome to the national directory for shooting, stalking / hunting and fishing in Scotland, offering news, events, sporting seasons, information for beginners and much more. Search through over 100 sporting providers offering all country sports in Scotland from game shooting – including pheasant, grouse, partridge, pigeon and ptarmigan – to wildfowling, deer stalking (red, fallow, roe and and sika deer) and world class fishing including game angling, coarse and sea angling (including salmon, trout and grayling).

Opportunities abound to suit all budgets, ranging from as little as £2 per day to £10,000 per week and more. The country is also steeped in colourful history, tradition and culture which provide the sporting visitor with what many across the world regard as an unrivalled overall experience.

Published in December 2016 ‘Game for Growth’ Country Sports Tourism in Scotland: Delivering Sustainable Growth 2016 – 2020 sets out ambitious growth targets for the sector. The full document is available here.
