Signature Expedition Scotland October 13-18 2026
Join Ball and Buck Founder Mark Bollman IV for an unforgettable autumn escape to Craigsanquhar Estate, a historic Scottish country house nestled in the rolling hills of Fife, just minutes from St. Andrews. This Signature Expedition delivers the pinnacle of traditional British driven shooting, blending world-class sport, timeless hospitality, and refined countryside living.
Over the course of five nights, guests will enjoy three full days of driven pheasant and partridge shooting across stunning private ground. Each shoot day follows classic Scottish tradition—formal introductions, peg draws, impeccably trained dogs, elevenses between drives, and lunch served in the field.
Non-shooters are thoughtfully woven into the experience, with leisurely mornings at the estate, afternoons exploring historic towns, golf, gardens, and distilleries, and evenings shared together over exceptional meals and fireside drams.
This is not a rushed or commercial operation—it is Scotland as it has been experienced for generations: deliberate, refined, and unforgettable.

Each day follows established tradition, from formal peg draws to elevenses and lunch served between drives. The shooting is challenging, sporting, and deeply rewarding, set against rolling hills and historic ground. This is wingshooting as it was meant to be—precise, respectful, and rooted in centuries of Scottish sporting heritage
