The majority of the uplands are a mix of grasses and heather and the Estate tweed incorporates both of these aspects. It was designed in 1974 by Stephen Gibbs and the original bolts were produced by Haggarts of Aberfeldy.<\/p>\n<p>Stalking is available for stags from the end of August until the 20th October and hind stalking from 21st October to the 15th February.
