Boughton Estate

The smallest jewel in the Buccleuch Estates crown, Boughton revels in its reputation for committed conservation work and excellent sporting opportunities.  Spanning 10,000 acres of Northamptonshire's finest countryside, and surrounding the majestic 16th Century House, the Estate is ideally placed to provide a range of sporting pursuits in this unique and historic setting.  We can offer over 100 different drives for traditional pheasant and partridge shooting over tall hedgerows.  The woodland drives are spectacular, in particular Geddington Chase,  along with a vast network of over 150 acres of game cover crops planted in strategic positions and 2,500 acres of semi-natural ancient oak woodland.  Add to this the excellent woodcock days and deer stalking, there is superb sport to suit every preference.

Bowhill Estate

Bowhill's ancient canopies were once the hunting grounds of Scottish kings and the heritage of the impressive Ettrick Forest is still apparent on the Bowhill Estate today.   The result of generations of responsible land management, the beautiful Bowhill Estate offers a wealth of opportunities for first class shooting pursuits be it grouse, pheasant or rough.   Spreading across 46,000 acres of some of Scotland's most celebrated scenery, the estate encapsulates a premier sporting experience with challenging terrain amidst a dramatic and challenging landscape.

Queensberry Estate

The natural beauty of the Queensberry Estate in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland's hidden gem, offers a unique setting for every type of field sport. The largest of the Buccleuch Estates, with the magnificent Drumlanrig Castle as its centrepiece, Queensberry's sport is second to none attracting some of the best guns in the UK and beyond, whether for driven grouse, pheasant, partridge, or rough shooting, falconry and duck flighting. Queensberry offers 20,000 acres of the most spectacular landscape given over to grouse alone. The 25 varied and diverse pheasant drives extend to 15,000 acres giving the discerning sportsman a fantastic range of opportunities, while partridge, the most recent venture, already boasts over 20 drives ranging from high to exceptionally high birds, and is proving to be one of the top, most sought after shoots in the country.
