Fieldsports
Report
The shooting at Thrumster is very varied, being an area of very diverse habitats. The estate has 5,000 acres of grouse moor, and the rest is composed of mixed arable ground, in the small holdings known as crofts, and of rough pasture, marshes and waterside ground near our lochs, burns and ponds. The moor holds good stocks of grouse, and partridge are found on its fringes.
Falconry
Report
Thrumster has always been a magnet for the falconer, The pinnacle of this noble art is the peregrine falcon against the red grouse, the fastest gamebird on the wing. Our resident population of both ensures that the quarry is not easily taken, and the thrill of the stoop is not always followed by the kill.
