Fly Fishing in Speyside
Cast your line in the legendary waters of the River Spey, a world-renowned destination for Atlantic salmon fishing. Access to these exclusive, highly sought-after beats is limited, but through our network of experienced local ghillies, we endeavour to provide our guests with an unforgettable day on the river. For a different but equally rewarding experience, we can also arrange for fishing on the beautiful River Avon beat at the Ballindalloch Estate. A packed lunch can be provided for your perfect day on the water.

In partnership with premier local estates located near The Macallan, we offer world-class shooting in some of Scotland’s most iconic landscapes.

Explore the breathtaking natural beauty of Speyside at your own pace with our modern e-bikes.

Golfing at Moray

The Old Course, a masterpiece designed by the legendary Old Tom Morris, offers a formidable challenge with its deep pot bunkers and stunning sea views from every hole. Beside it, the New Course, crafted by Sir Henry Cotton, provides a slightly more forgiving but equally captivating round.
