My name is Hugh Haggarty and I run Falconry Hawking Holidays

Here in one of the most beautiful parts of Britain i.e. Sutherland, where we enjoy one of the best climates, it may surprise you to learn that we very seldom miss hawking days.We offer Hawking Holidays

  In addition I can cover help in just about any aspect of falconry you may be interested in from basic introductory training for complete novices through to advanced skills in field craft and hunting, getting birds entered just give me a call to discuss your requirements.

Let me know when your preferred week is (Please give alternate dates if at all possible) and I will reply to you as soon as possible with dates available. Phone 01408 622865 or e-mail me highlandholidays@tiscali.co.uk

Hunting with your own hawks is available. We can offer you some fantastic hunting, cheaper than anyone I know in Britain.

For parties of 4 to 6 falconers the price is £200 each per week. For groups of less than 4 the cost is a minimum of £800 for the week. This includes your accommodation fuel One large 47kg bottle free. If you require more the cost is £35 for 19kg and £80 for a 47kg  bedlinen supplied . There is also a damage deposit on arrival of £200 in cash refunded at the end of the holiday. if there are no damages and the place is left clean. Below is a DVD film off Falconers that have been coming to me for a number of years This is there film.  You will have to click on the start button twice as an advert  appears first. This is there server doing this not me.




We offer high quality accommodation in one of two houses where heating and bed linen is included in the price . (NOT TOWELS) Please look up cottages to see pictures of the cottages

All sport is also included. For a party of 4 falconers the average rabbit count is around 70. If you can catch more you are, of course, welcome.

Quarry available here includes: Some wild pheasants (not released ones) which are good sport, excellent flights, but are seldom caught; Greylag geese (still trying to catch one!!); Woodcock depending on the time of year: NO hares.

I only allow 4 weeks maximum per year to be booked. This means there is no overkill on the population and allows the game to recover. I will showing you the ground which will give you a better understanding of the land.
I have access to approx 12,500 acres locally.

The ground is made up of farm land, scrub land, moorland and hillside giving you a variety of terrain. An added advantage of the land I use is that it is quite difficult to lose your bird here because of the nature of the land layout.

I prefer two dogs maximum. If your dogs are well behaved and are used to staying in the house,  You need very fit dogs to work the hill as it`s on a slope.

I also have 3 mews available for your birds within a secure garden area in front of your cottage accommodation. I do not supply ferrets or locators or collers. These will be required to have a successful hunting trip. No Netting and no Lurchers and no Shooting allowed.
