Walked Up Woodcock at Fearann Eilean Iarmain - Isle of Skye

Our woodcock days on the  wooded hill ground of Sleat  provide are an unforgettable experience.

Walked up days are avail able from November through to  January. Days consist of flushing  woodcock from cover with dogs and  often involve long walks over rug ged terrain in a stunning landscape.  Many experienced shooters consider  these birds to be the ultimate sport ing challenge.

The majority of the  woodcock seen during the winter  months are seasonal visitors from  northern Scandinavia and Russia.  It is a quarry that we treat with the greatest respect, harvesting  no more than is sustainable in  terms of the population each year.  Our emphasis is on the experience  of the day, the magnificence of the  scenery and the challenge of the  sport, not the size of the bag.

Shoot ing lunches are served in the Both- an, a characterful stone bothy in the  Glen of Ord, with views over the native woodlands of the glen towards  Loch Eishort and the dramatic peaks  of the Cuillins. A wood burning stove  provides a warm welcome with the  enjoyment of a hot lunch cooked by  our chefs at Hotel Eilean Iarmain.
