Scottish Borders Sporting Simulated Game Shooting is located in the most beautiful part of the Scottish Borders, on the edge of the Lammermuir Hills, 30 minutes south of Edinburgh. It takes place on our game shooting estate which covers 1,600 acres. In the season we run our highly acclaimed driven game days here and the stunning natural topography allows for the presentation of some fantastic simulated game drives. We can choose from 14 drives where we can present; high pheasant, partridge coveys and driven grouse! We work with the topography which ranges from bracken covered banking's and gullies, high woodlands, ponds, valley's, so no two drives are the same. Many years of running Simulated Game days in the South East of England has made the team very proficient in how to present targets in order to emulate bird flight. Anyone can set an automatic trap to throw a fast target. The difference is we give our drives a lot of thought and practice into the presentation of the birds. When we send 'coveys' of partridge over the Guns, be assured, you'll see packs of targets in the air at any one time!
Hospitality
Breakfast rolls, tea's and coffee's are served in the morning, refreshments throughout the day and elevenses served on the Hill with drinks as required. Some clients choose our Macallan Package which includes a hotel lunch after the shoot. We also have a first rate sporting price in the local Hotel on a dinner bed & breakfast basis.
Topography
The farm known as Hillhouse is pretty accurate! The terrain, although steep, is easily accessed by hard standing tracks. Huge banking's, steep gullies and woodland are just a couple of the features. We also have 14 ponds, burns, a ruin of a fort with views to the purple heather covered grouse moors. The Grouse drive is just like the real thing, you can double gun and shoot behind as you are on the edge of a large ravine with plenty of space and wonderful views!

Perfect shooting ground, very well organised day with the right blend of realistic but accessible clays and a team flush. We will be back next year!
