Hunting at Callumkill

Callumkill offers red deer and fallow deer stalking as well as walked-up and driven shooting of woodcock, pheasant and snipe over pointers. Islay’s red deer are one of the few remaining herds of pure red deer.

Callumkill’s game keeper knows every inch of the ground and will guide you to the best locations for your day of sport as well as fill you in on the terrain, history and wildlife.

A relation of about 3.000 inhabitants and 5.000 red deer shows that deer are a substantial part of Islay. Deer and wildlife management are key to ensuring herd health and protecting fauna. We have a culling policy which works sympathetically with the farm and preservation of our ancient oak woodlands for about 60 years now. For this reason our stalker will select the animals to be culled.

On a day out you see changing views and terrains over every ridge rising from the sea to the top of Bheinn Solumh, the third highest peak on Islay. You walk through original oak woodland, over rocky outcrops, and past peaty burns, lochs and moor.
