Fishing: Wild Water, Quiet Company

The River Doon threads the estate beneath old stone bridges, and hill lochs sit in the moor above, wild brown trout water, fished in near-solitude.

Fishing at Craigengillan is old-fashioned in the best way: a beat to yourself, a flask in the bag, and the sound of the Doon working through the gorge. Wild brown trout are the mainstay, with seasonal runs bringing heavier fish up the river.

Day permits, tackle advice and honest local knowledge come from the estate team. Beginners are welcome, there is no better classroom than a quiet bank of the Doon.
