The Corrybrough Estate lies in the Findhorn valley amongst some of the most beautiful scenery in the Highlands of Scotland. A plan is on following pages. The property provides a diverse Highland sporting estate with a superb driven grouse moor complemented by a comfortable, traditional sporting lodge with 4 reception rooms and 10 bedrooms. There is 1 day’s driven shooting at Corrybrough and a further 3 at Moy. This gives a total grouse moor area of around 4,752 Ha (11,744 acres) providing 4 separate days driving. This area has a particular pedigree for producing large numbers of driven grouse. This is a truly superb package and one that has not been available in the marketplace for a very long time.

The Estate is situated around the village of Tomatin, some 15 miles south of Inverness and 30 miles from Inverness Airport. The moors at Corrybrough and Moy are considered to be some of the finest and most consistent grouse moors in the north of Scotland.

They are located in an area which is generally managed intensively for driven grouse. The Moy Estate Sportings are held under a sporting lease which has 19 seasons to run, expiring on the 2nd February 2028. The moors are neighboured by other well-keepered driven moors including Clune, Kyllachy, Cawdor and Nairnside.

King George V often visited Moy in the early 20th century. It is believed that the record for the number of grouse shot in a day on a Highland grouse moor is 914 brace shot in 1905 (the season bag that year was 7,127 brace albeit over a larger area). The area is reputed to be one of the earliest to carry out driven grouse shooting. The Grouse Moor

The moor extends to approximately 1,416 Ha (3,500 acres) of principally heather ground. All the farming is in hand. The moor provides a generous single day’s shooting with some very exciting and challenging drives. The 10 year average to 2008 is 192.5 brace and the 5 year average to 2002 was 489.5 brace. The best recent season was in 1998 when 1,010 brace were shot, and the record day for the moor was in 1988 with 351½ brace shot in a single day. Fishing

The fishing on the River Findhorn is of high quality and all salmon recorded have been caught on the fly. The 5 year average is 65 salmon. There are several excellent pools both at Corrybrough and Moy. Lowground Shooting

Corrybrough had a formal driven pheasant shoot in recent years. The lowground at Corrybrough and Moy has been used on a more informal basis recently and provides exciting shooting which could be intensified if desired. Pheasants, partridges, woodcock, duck, geese, hares and rabbits have all made entries in the Game Book in recent years, also roe deer stalking. Farming

All the farming is in hand at Corrybrough and this has assisted in implementing a tick control programme over the last five years. At Moy there is a farming partnership arrangement on the hill that has allowed control of tick and this has been intensified in recent years. There are generally no red deer to the east of the A9 and railway in this part of Inverness-shire and this has assisted with the management of the moor. Houses/Cottages

To complement the sporting estate package there are also 6 additional houses and cottages together with a flat ancillary shoot and other buildings.
