Roxburghe Estates Scotland Signature Expedition

Why You Should Attend

Join us as we head to Europe for our first quintessential Scottish sporting expedition at Floors Castle of the Roxburghe Estates, home to the 11th Duke of Roxburghe and his family in a beautiful part of the Scottish Borders. Roxburghe Estates is one of the finest sporting estates in Scotland. The moors Byrecleugh and Rawburn offer some of the most consistent grouse shooting in Scotland as well as spectacular pheasant shooting in the park at Floors Castle including the Roxburghe signature drives over the River Tweed. The Upper and Lower Floors beats on the River Tweed and Teviot host some of the finest fly water in Scotland.

Our exclusive 5-day itinerary will allow you to thrive in a true Scottish sporting experience, including all of the formalities surrounding a traditional hunt like exclusive access to the Gun Room and a post-hunt "Laying out the Bag". You will enjoy fine cuisine at every meal and will taste some of Scotland's best Scotch Whiskey. For your guests or the non-shooters, there is a world class championship golf course to enjoy, along with several excursion ideas like exploring the art collections and gardens of the Floors Castle, visiting the town of Hawick- the home of Tweed and Cashmere or relaxing in what will feel like your own private Scottish Castle Estate. 

Each guest will have their own luxury accommodations at the Schloss Roxburghe. Set in the elegant countryside of the Scottish Borders just over an hour's drive from Edinburgh, this historic estate features a 20 bedroom luxury hotel, a championship golf course and a range of outdoor activities. Cuisine is top quality with an emphasis on fresh, home-grown produce.
