Our
Story
We're husband and wife team Claire and Alick. Between us we have years of experience managing large Scottish estates and 5 star properties, delivering exceptional hospitality. We're the proud owners of Muir Estate and are passionate about carrying on the proud heritage and giving people a unique experience in this special corner of Scotland.
Alick is very experienced in managing livestock, coming from a long line of Orkney farmers and previously managed Glenlyon Estate in highland Perthshire. So as soon as we bought this place we set to work putting up deer fences to form parks where we now have a herd of 80 plus and rising, including Otto, our stock stag and various numbers of younger stags. We have fenced off all the grazing land and the meadow so that we can grow our herd and the meadow gives our deer the most natural habitat that we can provide for park deer. We are approved venison dealer and have our own bespoke built larder and chill on the estate. This gives us the ability to supply local restaurants, the public and our guests with fresh cuts of venison that truly are 'farm to fork'!
We both share the same principles and values, that our animals will be treated with kindness and be given the best life possible while they are with us on Muir Estate. As part of 'Chef & Shepherd Suppers', 'Heat & Eat', and from the 'Muir Estate Larder', guests can enjoy park and wild venison sourced directly from the estate.
