BRUAR

The Bruar offers guests virtually the privacy and sanctuary of an island. Located nine miles from the public road, accessed from a track which is passable with care by all types of vehicle, the situation is both peaceful and therapeutic. The beat covers over 13,000 acres of moorland mostly over 2000 ft.

Bruar Lodge provides accommodation for up to 18 guests in comfortable but traditional surroundings. Although the facilities have been modernised to provide convenience, many of the original features of this sporting lodge have been retained thereby complementing the experience of visiting this unspoilt and inspiring part of the Estate.

As with Forest Lodge, each day’s journey onto the moor starts with a climb from the lodge along a pony track but once on the high ground the contours ease and the views become dramatic.

The beat is managed by one headkeeper who lives by the lodge with his wife who is the housekeeper. Mixed sporting weeks start in August and continue until the end of the stags in October. One party can go out each day however guests can also enjoy the stocked hill loch within easy walking distance of the lodge together with salmon fishing for 3 rods on the River Tilt for two days. Additional stalking on the neighbouring beat of Clunes can be included subject to availability.
