Below we list some of the obvious ones. If these don’t cater for you needs, then try page 8 for additional offerings slightly further afield. Deer stalking and other game shooting in accordance with the relevant seasons (see page 11 of this guide). Clay pigeon shooting Fishing for Rainbow Trout in the Lochan. Set in a hidden but easily accessible spot, ideal for the occa- sional or novice angler with an almost guaranteed success rate. Fishing for Salmon in the River Almond. The more experienced angler may wish cast a fly into the Almond. This river only has Salmon in a late September spate when typically around half a dozen are caught. Rock pool swimming for the brave. Numerous crystal clear pools abound, especially in the River Shervie. Obviously not for everyone, and certainly not for the faint or weak hearted! Photography, painting and drawing. This is without doubt a truly wonderful place for lovers of the visual arts, the ever changing faces of the hills providing a constant source of inspiration. Bird and wildlife observation. Auchnafree Estate is home to a very diverse collection of bird and wildlife. From River Otters to Golden Eagles and Red Deer to Blue Mountain Hare - a good pair of binoculars is a must. Walking and cycling. From Auchnafree through the Glen to Loch Tay and beyond. This and the sur rounding areas offer the most stunning walks and rides imaginable. - Golf. Our 9 hole course was set out to embody the ancient origins and spirit of the game. Not a course to be taken too seriously, but one which will certainly challenge and deliver a feeling of enormous well- being. For the serious golfer, consult page 10 of this guide for the numerous world class venues at hand.

Little has changed inside Auchnafree Lodge (the principal house on the estate) since the estate came into the Whitaker family in 1896. Stepping inside is like walking back in time into a home filled with fascinating historical photographs of the family, and glass cabinets filled with taxidermy from a bygone era. In those years gone by Auchnafree Estate was used exclusively by the family and friends as a sporting retreat from which to hunt Red Grouse, Red Deer, Blue Mountain Hare and a variety of other game birds. To this day, the main focus of the owner is to preserve not only the history of the Lodge, but to maximise the sporting potential of the land as a grouse moor. This entails careful land managed by the resident gamekeeper, and two resident families of shepherds. It is this resident well-knit Auchnafree community on which our corporate events are built. The events management team take immense pride in creating a bespoke event or team building day, based on activities which are part of every day life on the estate. With around 30 miles of very challenging hill-track roads giving access to rarely visited wilderness, a Landrover safari alone is an experience not easily forgotten. A typical day starts with a glimpse inside Auchnafree Lodge, with refreshments served inside the dining room. Here the management team give an introductory talk about the estate history, and an outline brief- ing of the day ahead. A convoy of Landrovers, with experienced and qualified “off road” drivers will be waiting to collect the group thereafter. With a taste of river crossings and all terrain driving en-route, it is generally onward to competitions in both clay pigeon shooting, and target shooting using hunting rifles. A traditional home-cooked lunch back in the Lodge follows, or previously prepared packed lunches may be taken on the hill. With stomachs full, an exploration of the fabulous hill track roads can commence. Out on the hills, a demonstration of hunting with falcons can be given, carried out by one of the country’s very best falconers. To close the days outdoor events, one of our shepherds will work a team of his dogs, moving sheep effortlessly at will. For the perfect end to the day, the sound of a distant piper will beckon the group to the venue for the evening meal. Inside a unique and rustic gamekeeping themed environ- ment, a fabulous meal of (for example) spit roast pig and venison haunches is served. Sitting on straw bales seating in front of a blazing wood burning stove, with food and drink aplenty, a presentation of fine trophies for the winning shots will be held. This is quality time for reflection upon the day’s events, with our gamekeepers, shepherds and falconer at hand to recapitulate on the day and answer any questions that may arise.

  • The River Tay - Its Silvery Waters Forever Linked to the Picts and Scots of Clan Macnaughton
    THE RIVER TAY - ITS SILVERY WATERS FOREVER LINKED TO THE PICTS AND SCOTS OF CLAN MACNAUGHTON By James Macnaughton On a fine spring day back in the 1980’s three figures trudged steadily up the long climb from Glen Lochy towards their goal, the majestic peak of Ben Lui (3,708 ft.) The final arête, still deep in snow, became much more interesting as it narrowed with an overhanging cornice. Far below to the West could be seen the former Clan Macnaughton lands of Glen Fyne and Glen Shira and the two big Lochs - Fyne and Awe, the sites of Fraoch Eilean and Dunderave Castle. Pointing this out, James the father commented to his teenage sons Patrick and James, that maybe as they got older the history of the Clan would interest them as much as it did him. He told them that the land to the West was called Dalriada in ancient times, the Kingdom settled by the Scots from Ireland around 500AD, and that stretching to the East, beyond the impressively precipitous Eastern corrie of Ben Lui, was Breadalbane - or upland of Alba - part of the home of the Picts, four of whose Kings had been called Nechtan, and thus were our ancestors as Sons of Nechtan (Macnaughton). Although admiring the spectacular views, the lads were much more keen to reach the summit cairn and to stop for a sandwich and some hot coffee. Keeping his thoughts to himself to avoid boring the youngsters, and smiling as they yelled “Fraoch Eilean”! while hurtling down the scree slopes (at least they remembered something of the Clan history!), Macnaughton senior gazed down to the source of the mighty River Tay, Scotland’s biggest river, and, as he descended the mountain at a more measured pace than his sons, his thoughts turned to a consideration of the massive influence this ancient river must have had on all those who travelled along it or lived beside it over the millennia.

  • Highland Perthshire Through the Archive
    A Guide to the History and Culture of Highland Perthshire through the Archive Dick Fotheringham, bell ringer in the Aberfeldy area, c1930s Ref: MS316/31 Perth & Kinross Council Archive 1 Foreword While I have been a member of the Friends of Perth & Kinross Council Archive for some time I only became a Committee member last year. Thus my being asked to become the chair of the Committee at this year’s AGM was, from my perspective, rather rapid promotion! Now I have been given the great honour of writing this foreword to the Friends’ latest publication, a survey and guide to sources of information on every aspect of life in Highland Perthshire as encapsulated in the collections of the Archive. In it you will find a comprehensive overview of the huge range of collections relevant to this topic including history, genealogy, industry, settlements, estates and anything else you may be interested in. Some of the material is “official”, like local authority documents, police and Justice of the Peace records. However, there is also guidance on exploring community-based collections put together by local people who were determined their “story” would live on and be accessible to anyone who was interested. There are also many illustrations of documents of different types with informative notes beside each one. These are, of course, merely a glimpse of the rich and varied sources which exist and can be explored with the help of the staff of the Archive. A feature which we hope will be seen as innovative, and was the brainchild of the authors, is a specimen analysis of a document which is designed to show you what you can learn from it whether you are a family, house or local historian, or just interested in maximising the information that a document can provide.
