Experience the trill of ferreting on a highland estate set in the picturesque valley of the Feugh. This is an opportunity to spend some time with our head game keeper “waiting for the rabbits to bolt” in this exciting and often unpredictable sport, accompanied by a knowledgeable and a “safe” pair of hands and our team of eager ferrets!  Our outing will lasts approximately 3 - 5 hours depending on light and conditions. Equipment and tuition can also be supplied at a small additional cost.  

Ferreting and 4x4 Estate Safari
Make a day of it by combining ferreting with a guided estate tour

After your morning out ferreting, relax over a picnic lunch before taking a tour through the Estate, featuring a wealth of interesting flora & fauna, and a rich heritage from various historic buildings, the agricultural calendar and family link with the Victorian landscape painter Joseph Farquharson.

Specialist Estate Tours encompassing the above are available with one of our friendly and knowledgeable guides. The farmlands lie mostly in the Feugh valley and we have excellent view points from the North and South where the whole estate can be surveyed. In good conditions the views have to be seen to be believed - from the ships coming in to Aberdeen harbour, the hill tops of Bennachie, Morven and Lochnagar and all the surrounding countryside in between. There is a good chance of spotting a wide variety of wildlife, including red deer , mountain hares, buzzards and many of the low ground wading birds.
