Deer Stalking in the Heart of the Cairngorms

Glen Tanar is home to thriving herds of red and roe deer, roaming freely across its heather-clad hills and Caledonian pine forests. Stalking these magnificent animals is a test of patience, skill and endurance — shaped by the weather, the landscape, and the natural instincts of the deer themselves. Success is never guaranteed, but the experience is unforgettable.
