Remony Estate
Near Aberfeldy, Perthshire
Information
A small highland estate on the South shore of Loch Tay, offering a limited amount of driven pheasant shooting, stag and hind and some roe stalking, and some fishing on the loch for salmon or trout.
Extending to some 7,000 acres rising steeply from the loch, it is a mixture of heather hill and rough grassland except for a very few ploughable hill fields.
Our main business is sheep farming, but there are deer and a few grouse on the hill. Lower down the woodland belts which provide shelter for the sheep and cattle also provide some excellent driven pheasant shooting, which is run on a small scale by the family looking for a bag of around 100 birds per day.
The views and other wildlife are particularly prized.
