Red Deer Stalking Stags: 1st August ~ 20th October; Hinds: 21st October ~ 15th February A number of impressive corries run off the main glen, both to the north and south, allowing two rifles to stalk each day regardless of weather conditions and wind directions, although the best winds are generally from the north and north-west. The expectation is for eight stags each week from August to October with extraction by Argocat.

Loch Choire has always held a consistent resident deer population with numbers increasing over the summer and autumn months from neighbouring estates. Deer count records have been kept since 1899, showing a relatively stable population fluctuating between 1,300 and 1,600 deer, according to the time of year and weather. The most recent aerial count, undertaken in December 2008, returned a total of 1,224 deer, 368 of which were recorded as stags and showing an overall density of 9.67 deer per sq.km. The estate falls within the East Sutherland Deer Management Group and is an active member.

Walked up Grouse 12th August ~ 10th December A few walked up grouse days over pointers with bags generally in the order of five brace per day can be enjoyed over the estate in August and September. Ptarmigan are also present on the higher ground, particularly on Ben Klibreck.

In common with many northern estates grouse numbers have fluctuated in recent years with 278 and 291 brace shot in 1988 and 1989 respectively. The highest grouse numbers were recorded in the early 1900s when 500 brace for the season was not unusual. Black grouse were also regularly accounted for within the game records until the 1940s and, encouragingly, a small number have been seen again since the most recent woodland planting.

Salmon Fishing 11th January ~ 30th September inclusive The fishing on the River Mallart runs for about 6 miles with over 30 named pools. The season opens on 11th January, although fish have seldom been known to pass the Mallart Falls until late May or early June, and runs until 30th September inclusive, with fishing by fly only throughout the season.

The river is best fished with a single handed rod after a spate and various techniques have often been used successfully including fishing with a dry fly on a greased line, or even daddy-long-legs, to catch both salmon and grilse. It provides some very enjoyable sport in stunning surroundings.

Wild Brown Trout Fishing 15th March ~ 6th October Exceptional brown trout fishing can be enjoyed on Loch Choire itself, either from the shore or by boat as well as on the six additional lochs located elsewhere on the estate. Loch Truderscaig in particular offers excellent trout fishing, especially in June, July and early August when mayfly are present.

Trout generally run at three to the pound, but specimens of up to 5lb have been caught in Loch Choire. It is documented that several of the hill lochs at the south western end were stocked with trout from Loch Leven in 1895. Arctic Char are also found in Loch Choire and Loch Truderscaig.

The average annual catch from all the estate lochs is generally in excess of 1,200 trout.

Forestry The forestry at Loch Choire extends to approximately 443 hectares (1,094 acres) and comprises a diverse mixture of native woodland and conifer plantations.

The mature conifer plantations were planted around 1890 when the lodge was first built and some of the trees have provided timber for estate use and firewood. Further conifer plantations were planted in the 1970s. A significant native woodland planting scheme was undertaken in 2011-12, when 328 hectares (811 acres) were enclosed and planted with a mix of birch, willow, pine, larch and some oak, particularly in the northern compartment. Some additional areas of existing broadleaf woodland were also enclosed at that time to encourage and protect regeneration.

A Native Woodland Plan has been prepared by the owners, further details of which are available from the sellers’ agents.

Both black grouse and roe deer have been seen since the native woodlands were planted.

There was a significant amount of windblow following the storms in January 2015. The process of tidying up fallen timber is in progress.

Renewables A desk top feasibility study was prepared for a potential hydro scheme located on the Allt a Chuillinn Burn in 2012 which indicated that a 50–80 kW scheme, which could serve the residential properties and workshop on the estate, would be possible. Further details are available from the selling agents.

Loch Choire Lodge Site The site of the original lodge was carefully considered. The elevated site at the south-east corner overlooking Loch Choire was without doubt chosen to take advantage of the spectacular vista it affords. The romance of the setting is enhanced by the majestic mature pines which shelter the site from the west and the iconic delicate silver birch which lead down to the water’s edge. A wooden jetty provides a perfect mooring for the estate boats below.

The former Loch Choire Lodge was destroyed by fire in 2013. The remains have now been cleared, and the site it once occupied offers the opportunity for a purchaser to build a new lodge to their own requirements and specifications.

Conceptual plans for a new lodge have been prepared by ANTA and are available from the selling agents.

17 Additional Estate Houses and Buildings Sporting Bothy Sited on the shore of the loch, not far from the source of the Mallart, a sporting bothy, for use by sporting tenants, was constructed in 2013 comprising an open plan sitting room and kitchen with wood burning stove, large store room, rod and drying room, WC and shower room.

Deer Larder Lying adjacent to the sporting bothy is the original deer larder which is well equipped with winch and rails and naturally kept at a constant temperature of 6 degrees.

Boat House Situated on the shore of Loch Choire is a traditional boat house and two jetties.

Stalker’s House Built in 2009, this attractive detached house is situated to the rear of the original lodge at the eastern end of Loch Choire and is currently occupied by the stalker. Timber-framed and clad under a slate roof, it has a timber extension providing a boiler room housing a biomass boiler with a large heat store. The accommodation over two storeys comprises a sitting room, kitchen, three bedrooms, a bathroom and a shower room. Outside there are separate outbuildings including three dog kennels.

School House Built in 1900 with a corrugated iron roof and cladding over a timber frame, the accommodation over two storeys comprises a sitting room/living room, kitchen, bathroom with separate shower, utility room on the ground floor and three bedrooms and separate WC on the first floor. The School House was re-furbished in 2013 and is now used by small parties of fishermen and stalkers.

Bothy

A basic bothy, attached to the School House, again timber framed with corrugated iron roof and cladding, is used by the seasonal stalker.

Allt a Laird This traditional stone built cottage occupies a very private spot to the north of the loch and enjoys a southerly aspect. The accommodation is on two floors and is un-modernised but it is sometimes used by parties as bothy accommodation.
