Farm Visit & Experience

A Glimpse Into Highland Farming Life

Auch Estate is a working Scottish Highland farm, where during your stay you can catch a glimpse of daily farm life and see our farm animals and dogs at work. It’s a unique opportunity to connect with the land, the animals, and the traditions of Highland farming.

Hiking and Walks

Discover Hidden Gems, Embrace Ancient Stories

Auch Estate lies at the heart of the stunning Scottish Highlands. Our private, off-the-beaten-path trails offer something for everyone, from gentle strolls to challenging hikes, all set against peaceful and beautiful landscapes. Along the way, you’ll discover Scotland’s rich natural heritage and even pass through ancient pagan shrines where some of the oldest uninterrupted pre-Christian rituals continue to this day.

West Highland Way

Step Into Scotland’s Iconic Long-Distance Trail

The 154 km West Highland Way is one of Scotland’s Greatest Trails. A beautiful section between Tyndrum and Bridge of Orchy passes right through Auch Estate. Just off the trail, our Walkers Lodge offers a comfortable stay that adds a touch of authenticity and real local experiences to the journey, letting you connect more deeply with the landscape and community you’re exploring.

Pony Riding

Explore the Highlands on Horseback

Just an hour’s drive from Auch Estate, at Oban, our partner Achnalarigh Stables offers group, semi-private, and private riding lessons. Nestled in beautiful Scottish countryside, the stables also serve as a Riding for the Disabled Centre, welcoming riders of all abilities to enjoy the magic of the Highlands on horseback.

Deer Stalking

Honouring Tradition, Protecting Nature

Auch Estate lies at the heart of some of Scotland’s most renowned stalking grounds, offering some of the finest deer stalking in Argyll and Perthshire. With a mountainous landscape that includes seven Munros and six Corbetts, Auch Estate is both a challenging and premier-quality sporting estate.

Responsible deer management is essential to maintaining a healthy, balanced ecosystem. At Auch Estate, we work closely with NatureScot and the Breadalbane Deer Management Group to ensure ethical and sustainable practices.

Red deer are the most common species on the estate. Roe deer are occasionally seen, and in recent years, sika deer—an introduced species originally from the Far East—have also been spotted.

Guests will stalk truly wild deer the traditional way—on foot, across rugged terrain. You’ll need endurance, patience, and skill to take a stag or hind, guided by our experienced professional stalkers. Along the way, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of deer management and deer selection.

Stalking season typically runs from September to February, though exact dates vary each year. Please contact Auch Estate office for current availability, rates and more details

Fishing

Cast Your Line in Pristine Waters

The River Orchy runs along the northern edge of the estate, just a short drive from Auch Village.  Known for its crystal-clear waters and breathtaking scenery, it offers a unique fishing experience for both salmon and sea trout.

The salmon season runs from February 11th to October 31st, with the best fishing typically between July and September.

As part of our ongoing conservation efforts, the River Orchy operates on a catch-and-release basis for both salmon and sea trout. This approach helps protect and sustain healthy fish populations for future generations.

Both fly fishing and spinning are permitted.  However, the use of worm, shrimp, or prawn is not allowed.
