Driven Game

The Ben Alder Estate mixed game shoot is set in the Allt An’t Sluic glen, a dramatic valley framed by heather-clad hills. The deep ridge and varied terrain provides an exciting challenge with a mix of high, fast-flying birds for an exhilarating day’s sport.

Customer Testimonials

"An-Tochailt has become our home from home. It is a beautiful house - a mini castle paradise! Both in winter, when its warmth, coziness and roaring log fires offer shelter from the snow and gales, or in summer, when the endless days allow for glorious and breathtaking views down Loch Ericht, it is a simply magical spot."
