Field, Fishing and Game
Spanning more than 40,000 acres, Luss Estates hosts an abundance of wildlife and a wide variety species. We take a passionate interest in the conservation and management of native species, including sensitive deer control in order to maintain status quo. We also host a small commercial driven shoot which sustains our game department and balances with our ecological protection of the local environment.
“Luss Estates, in the heart of the beautiful Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, offers a spectacular venue for country sports.”

Our renowned pheasant shoot caters for a limited number of 200 bird driven days for 8 guns, available from the end of October to the end of January. A superb variety of drives offer a range of different challenges, within breath taking scenery. Walked up days are sometimes available and are a fantastic way to experience the amazing surroundings of Loch Lomond. Lunch can be arranged for shooting parties in the library at the Loch Lomond Arms Hotel. Luss Estates office can assist with accommodation and transport arrangements.
Luss Estates is home to wild populations of Red, Roe and Fallow Deer. Deer management is an ongoing and significant part of the duties, focus and work load of our Game department. We lead the Deer Management Group on the west side of Loch Lomond under active participation from Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park. You can read more about this work here.
A recent substantial investment in a bespoke game larder enables the Estate to supply in-season venison and game to our hotel, the Loch Lomond Arms.
We actively participate in the West Loch Lomond Deer Management Group and the Loch Lomond Islands Deer Management Group. As deer have no natural predators, our deer management program is a necessity in order to reduce browsing damage to young trees and crops, to encourage natural regeneration of our native broad-leaf woodlands, and to reduce the risk of road traffic accidents involving deer on the busy A82/A83 Trunk and local roads.
The Estate’s fishing’s on Loch Lomond and its rivers are leased to the Loch Lomond Angling Improvement Association (LLAIA). Permits are available from the LLAIA for both coarse and game fishing.
