Pheasant Shoot Twenty years ago, Glenstriven ran a low-key family shoot. Over the years, through a combination of dedicated hard work, investment, creativity, trial and error, the most varied, challenging and exciting shoot has been created. On the whole Estate, there are a total of 21 pheasant drives and 12 partridge drives. The majority of the pheasant shooting takes place on Lot 1. Some steep ground, a variety of habitat, including tall conifers, birch banks and craggy cliffs, help produce pheasants of world-class quality. Some of the drives have Loch Striven as the back-drop and the scenery is quite wonderful.

The birds are challenging, not because all are extremely high, but other factors have been very carefully considered, including the precise positioning of gun pegs. The variety of birds is fantastic; high curling birds coming off crags, gliding pheasants over treetops and some extreme pheasants at such drives as “Rio Grande” with other notable drives including Invervegain Burn, The Birches and Quarry Drives.

The Head Keeper has been at Glenstriven for 17 years and his enthusiasm, hard work and careful planning are in evidence everywhere you go. Much of the shooting is done by the current owner, his family and friends but double days are let commercially on the whole Estate. Guns usually arrive on a Thursday evening, shoot Friday and Saturday and depart Sunday. Bags range but there is a usual expectation to shoot 2,000 cartridges over the two days with a total bag of 500 birds.

There are also a number of rough days shooting – 50 birds plus – which takes place on the Estate and on neighbouring ground. The 2011/2012 season is scheduling some 25 driven days and 15 rough days.

In addition to pheasants, there are wonderful wild fowling opportunities, good numbers of woodcock in November/December and a few coveys of grouse on the hill. The grouse have really been left alone, apart from the occasional outing by the family on the 12th of August to shoot a brace or two.

Inverchaolain is derived from the Gaelic word meaning “the mouth of the narrow stream” and pronounced Inverhoolin. The population of the Parish used to be considerable. In 1755 there were as many as 944 people; reducing to 699 by 1841 and now only a handful remain. Inverchaolain is a most attractive deep glen with Inverchaolain Farmhouse and Stronyaraig House lying at its entrance. Both properties sit in elevated and secluded settings with views over Loch Striven. They are reached by Estate tracks from the county highway. From here a number of ancient routes and tracks head up the Glen. These have been maintained over the years and provide access to the top of the Glen.

Of late, the main activity in the Glen has been the partridge shoot. Guns are located at the bottom beside the Inverchaolain Burn. Partridges from both sides of the Glen produce the most challenging of sport. In all, there are some 20 drives and, without exception, they are of superb quality and have been tested by some of the best guns in the country. Coffin Path, Green Knapp and Lands End drives produce magnificent birds; however, Cappul Pond drive stretches the very best of them all. The drives are flexible and the Head Keeper can drive them in different ways or drive parts of drives to ensure the quality of bird matches the standard of the guns or number of birds required.

On average some 12 partridge days are carried out each year, followed later in the season by partridges being mixed with pheasants; again, producing birds of exceptional quality.

In addition to the partridges, there are wonderful stalking opportunities in the Glen. Principally, Roe deer with some Red deer stalking.

Adjoining the farmhouse are traditional stone outbuildings, currently used for storage but, subject to planning consent, these could be converted to additional residential accommodation, producing a substantial house. The house and the outbuildings, together, form a three sided courtyard.
