About Corrour Lands Ltd
Corrour is a remote 57,000 acre Highland estate on the edge of Rannoch Moor. The nearest public road is 17 miles from our train station, Corrour – a stop in the middle of nowhere. Before the nineteenth century, it was a wilderness where shepherds summered their flocks of sheep and drovers took their cattle to market. Today, it is a sporting estate that combines gentle and thoughtful land management with traditional Scottish values of hospitality and inclusivity.
We carefully manage our 57,000 acres to create natural habitats for many species of birds, deer and other animals. Corrour has an abundance of wildlife, including black and red grouse, goshawks, merlins, black-throated divers, ptarmigans, golden eagles, dotterels, golden plovers, mountain hare, otters, peregrine falcons, pine martens, red, roe and sika deer.
