Traditional red deer stalking takes place on Laudale each season, culling in a selective way to maintain a healthy herd.  Experienced stalkers employ their skills developed over many seasons.  A day on the hill with one of the Laudale stalkers will be memorable and informative.  Ideally stalking groups are 2 – 4 guests per party works best.  The red deer stalking season runs from July until February, Stalking is available at an additional charge, must be pre-booked and may be subject to weather conditions. Guns are available for hire at £30 per day.

Out of season or for those who do not wish to shoot, but would love to experience being ‘on the hill’ Laudale can offer guests the chance to do some ‘camera stalking’ which provides superb opportunities for taking beautiful photographs of deer in some truly spectacular scenery.

Seaplane
The Laudale Estate has taken delivery of a brand new Cessna 208 Seaplane, the Spirit of Laudale. Operated by Loch Lomond Seaplanes Ltd, the aircraft is the only commercially available seaplane in the UK and one of a handful in Europe. Able to carry a maximum of 9 passengers (depending on the amount of luggage), plus pilot, the Spirit of Laudale is an unforgettable way to begin your rental at Laudale House.

Laudale’s enviable position on the shores of Loch Sunart means that guests travelling to Laudale may arrange to fly in directly from Glasgow airport, with an approximate flight time of 35 minutes, or take a short 20 minute taxi journey to spectacular Loch Lomond and for the ultimate departure, experience the thrill of taking off from water, arriving at Laudale approximately 30 minutes later on Loch Sunart.

Exploring the spectacular West Coast of Scotland by seaplane is a breathtaking and awe inspiring experience that will never leave you. After taxiing into your take off position on Loch Sunart, the seaplane is essentially a boat, mixing with any other water traffic. Once the seaplane picks up speed you feel like you’re in a very fast speed boat before lifting gently off the water as the imposing and glorious Scottish landscape begins to unfold before you. As you fly your chosen route, your highly experienced Captain will point out ancient landmarks and stunning landscape features visible just below the aircraft, before returning to Loch Sunart to land gently back on its waters.
