| The lodge and grouse shooting at Clunes are
let to a long term sporting tenant however, the stag stalking from
September onwards is available to let by the day or to supplement
sport for neighbouring lodge parties at Bruar or Dalnamein.
Clunes beat covers about 11,000 of heather moorland rising from
900 ft at the entrance by the A9 to over 2000 ft as the ground rises
to the two main corries at the far end.
Roe buck stalking can be available from 1st April to mid July on
the open hill and the beat also hosts some hind stalking during
the winter although the guests generally stay at Old Blair lodge.
As the hill was heavily ditch drained in the late 1960s, the use
of ponies for carcass retrieval is quite dangerous and therefore
Clunes relies on an argocat or quad bike for this work.
With relatively gentle topography and a good track network, the
beat is easily accessible and the headstalker has a well earned
and trusted reputation for providing his guests with a memorable
and informal day on the hill.
