Sporting
The estate extends to some 14,000 acres with it’s own stalking, salmon fishing and grouse shooting. There are a host of other activities available in the area including golf and pony trekking.
Salmon Fishing
The Glenmuick Beat of the River Dee lies at the centre of Ballater, Aberdeenshire and consists of around 2 miles of fishing on the right bank of the river. There are 13 named pools with reasonable access. Most can be reached by car but a 4 x 4 vehicle is an advantage. The beat is large enough to give variety and hence is fishable in some part at most heights of water. Two rods may fish the water at any one time but on different pools. Some wading is needed in order to make the best use of the water and the Dee Code of ‘catch and release’ is in operation for salmon although alternate seatrout may be kept. There is a fishing hut overlooking the main pools.
Addtional fishing for up to 8 rods is available on Monaltrie and Lower Invercauld, subject to availability.
Stalking
There are two stalking beats, enabling two stalking parties to go to the hill per day.
The mighty summit of Lochnagar, an Impressive 3800 ft mountain forms a breathtaking backdrop.
Shooting
Both walked up and driven grouse shooting days are available at Glenmuick and due to the wild nature of the birds provide some of the most challenging shooting in the world. Grouse days are subject to availability and numbers.
