One of the most wonderful ways to explore the gardens, grounds and stunning countryside around the hotel is in the company of these wonderful birds of prey on one of our falconry experience courses.
From Barnny the Barn Owl to Jess the magnificent golden eagle also JD the Harris hawk, Odoe the European eagle owl and Storm the Saker falcon.


The courses are run all year round and are very hands on, given by some of the best falconers in Scotland from the award-winning Front Line Falconry team.
Each falconry experience course from the half day to the day course involves meeting, handling, learning about and flying these beautiful birds. There really is no more life enhancing & exhilarating experience than interacting with them in their own habitat. We cater for everyone from the absolute beginner to the experienced enthusiast and all those in between.


Not only do you get to fly these magnificent birds but you will learn all about them as well. All hands on.
The " Ancient Sports" experience provides a great fun combination of tutored Archery lesson & a Falconry experience highly recommened for families & couples.
