Hind stalking is available from the end of October through to the end of January and may be taken on a daily basis.
For anglers, there are brown trout and sea trout and the chance of a salmon on 3km of the River Carron and Loch Sgamhain and trout in a further hill loch on the Estate. A boat is available on Loch Sgamhain.
