Shooting and Hunting Parties

Craigvrack Hotel is an ideal location for small shooting parties. Situated in the centre of an area famous for some of the finest hunting Estates in Scotland. Hunting, fishing and shooting can be arranged by the hotel to suit your needs. Whether its a 'day at the stags' or bagging yourself a brace of grouse it can all be organised by us for your enjoyment, if you are lucky you may get 'A McNab', which is a Salmon, a brace of Grouse and a red Stag all on the same day. With lochs and rivers in good supply, there is ample salmon fishing stretches to be tried during the season and also trout and pike can be landed.

Before your days hunting you will be served a hearty scottish breakfast - and if required, a filling packed lunch will be supplied. After your days shooting you can retire to the lounge and sample a few drams from our extensive range of fine malt whisky.
