McNabs Challenge
Stalk & Walk, Fish and Shoot: A Distinctive Highland Challenge into the hills and onto the riverbanks of our Highland Perthshire Estates
John Buchan´s adventure story was centred on three members of London’s upper-class society. Bored, with little to engage them and keen for a rejuvenating challenge, they concocted, in the rarefied atmosphere of their London club, the notion of poaching deer and salmon and red grouse on three Scottish estates, having warned the owners of their intentions and the dates when the acts were to be carried out. In the event of success £50 would be paid to a charity appointed by the estate owner, but failure would be a forfeit of £100, again paid by the three “poachers”, all of whom operated under the nom-de-guerre, John Macnab.
Ideal for:
- Small executive parties who are looking for an exclusive and memorable experience in the great outdoors and who value personal attention.
- Corporate and Incentive Days
The McNab Challenge:
First off armed with your Camera and Binoculars set your sights and stalk the Monarch of the Glen high in the hills. Requiring quiet and cunning and the ability to outwit the Deer, you will value the presence of your personal Ghillie, drawing on his experience to get you close to this magnificent animal and his knowledge of the river or Loch will be a valuable guide as you meet the challenge to catch a fish, so tight lines!
Our Shooting Ground in Glenlyon is the perfect backdrop to set your aim and go for the “kill” with clay target shooting. Finally with a well earned dram of whisky toast your achievement and relax in the knowledge of having completed the famous ‘McNab Challenge’.
