Sportings Meikle Findowie will appeal to the true sportsman. While there is currently no formal sport taking place on the estate, there are almost year round opportunities for informal and rough shooting, walked up grouse, deer stalking and trout fishing, all of which are right on the doorstep of the farmhouse.

Historically, driven grouse shooting, over two lines of timber and turf butts, took place over Meikle Findowie and the adjoining North Logiealmond moor. In recent years there has been a focus on sheep grazing and the hill has not been shot intensively for some time. In recent years there has been an encouraging increase in black grouse numbers in Strathbraan, and the male birds can be seen performing their display at a lek site within view of the farmhouse.

In addition to roe deer stalking which can be enjoyed on the low ground, the woodland fringes and the open hill, red deer do also pass through Meikle Findowie. The estate does not have a resident population of hinds, but stags are found on the ground on occasion during the stalking season and in the weeks leading up to the rut, and a number have been shot in most years.

Access to the hill is provided by means of a hill track which runs from the vicinity of the farm buildings right through the estate to Creag Liath at the southern boundary.

The delightful River Braan forms the northern boundary of the estate, providing about 1.2 miles of wild trout fishing on one of Perthshire’s prettiest rivers. MS
