Country estate of the month

SCALISCRO, UIG, ISLE OF LEWIS

A Macnab to be bagged here on this mixed 5,570acre sporting estate on the beautiful west coast of the Isle of Lewis on the shores of Little Loch Roag. There is red deer stalking, grouse, woodcock and snipe shooting, as well as salmon, sea-trout and brown trout fishing.

The vendor also owns another 5,000 acres to the north and east. This area is subject to common grazing rights and will be retained by the seller who will grant the purchaser of Scaliscro an exclusive sporting lease for 175 years

for a peppercorn rent. The challenging Hebridean terrain is perfect for wild, walked-up shooting, with the deep peat hags providing exciting stalking, as well as a number of lochs on the estate for fishing, plus three miles of coastline. The 11-bedroom lodge overlooks the loch, with views of the hills of Uig and Harris.
