Pheasant, Grouse, Game & Deer Shooting

The Scottish Borders and surrounding countryside are well known for the excellent sporting shooting

The estates around Peebles can offer a wide range of pheasant shooting, game shooting and limited Grouse shooting from rough days to full driven days on high pheasants. Many of our guests choose to arrange their own shooting days out however we can put together packages for you should you request us to do so.  

The Tontine is the perfect hotel, at the heart of the Scottish Borders in vibrant Peebles, for your next shooting break. We offer a secure gun storage room, a spacious drying room and we welcome dogs!
