Craigadam is a Scottish sporting estate. There is 25,000 acres of shooting and stalking over farmland, moorland and woodland. Richard and Celia Pickup have together developed a remarkably successful shooting and fishing holiday business around the estate. Accommodation is of a very high standard with all rooms en-suite. Celia Pickup turns the local game into traditional meals that give visitors a chance to appreciate both Scottish cuisine and their own achievements.

There are three main kinds of bird shooting on offer :-

Driven shooting :

We offer driven Pheasant or Partridge days from 100 - 250 bird days. Later in the season, the days are mixed. We normally shoot 8 guns but can accommodate up to 10. You will enjoy a range of the best drives in South West Scotland with high challenging birds in varied terrain.

Rough shooting :

The main species available are Red-Legged Partridge, Pheasant, Duck (Mallard, Teal and Widgeon), Woodcock, Snipe, Wood Pigeon and Rabbits.

Mixed bags and varied targets and terrain, make every day a unique challenge under the guidance of Craigadam Head Keeper Gordon Aitchison and his team.

Wildfowling :

Greylag and Pinkfoot Geese, flighting during early morning. Evening Duck flighting on rivers and fed ponds.
