Once a favoured escape of Edward VII, George V and George VI and now operating at scale across farming, hospitality, natural capital and property management, Tulchan is a highly diversified rural enterprise with multiple revenue streams.

Wholly owned by Tulchan Sporting Estates Limited* (TSEL), the guide price for 100% of the shareholding in Tulchan Sporting Estates Limited is £67 million and presents a rare opportunity to acquire a high‑calibre and well diversified rural business.

A Highland landscape of beauty, heritage and modern luxury

Extending to approximately 21,768 acres, Tulchan lies east of the Cairngorms National Park along the central course of the River Spey. Its dramatic topography, rivers, woodland, moorland and farmland create a landscape of extraordinary beauty, greatly enjoyed by visitors from around the world.

At the heart of the estate stands Tulchan Lodge, a Category B‑listed Edwardian lodge completed in 1906 and comprehensively refurbished in 2018. The Lodge comprises 14 en suite bedrooms, five principal reception rooms, a cinema, wine‑tasting room and a recently added spa complex featuring sauna, steam room, treatment suite and outdoor Japanese hot tub.  As such it blends period grandeur with contemporary Highland luxury.

Additional accommodation includes Knocktulchan Lodge, a six‑bedroom property with panoramic views, and 28 further estate dwellings, including four beautifully presented holiday cottages with strong occupancy and repeat bookings.

A diversified rural business with environmental credentials

A productive in‑hand livestock farm, supported by five tenanted farms, supplies the estate with home‑reared beef, lamb and game - much of which is served at Tulchan Lodge, the estate’s members’ lodge, and at Feast, Tulchan’s seasonal restaurant. This field‑to‑table ethos forms an integral part of the estate’s character and guest experience.

Tulchan’s commitment to environmental stewardship is embedded across its operations. The estate is accredited by Wildlife Estates Scotland, reflecting its high standards of habitat and wildlife management. Significant natural capital projects have already been undertaken, including the restoration of 1,100 acres of peatland, supporting increased biodiversity and theongoing work to protect and sustain curlew populations - a species long present on the estate. Extensive native woodland, commercial forestry and the potential for future renewable energy schemes further enhance Tulchan’s long‑term environmental and economic credentials.

While Tulchan is today a modern, multi‑faceted rural enterprise, it remains synonymous with some of Scotland’s most respected country sports - a defining part of its heritage and continued appeal.  The combination of river, moor and hill offers the rare opportunity to attempt a ‘Macnab’ - catching a salmon, shooting a stag and securing a brace of grouse in a single day.

Its sporting assets include:

• Eight miles of double‑bank salmon fishing across four private beats on the River Spey
• Recent seasons recording close to 400 salmon and over 120 sea trout
• Two driven grouse moors extending over 13,000 acres
• A renowned high‑bird pheasant shoot offering 25–30 days per season
• Red and roe deer stalking, wild duck flighting and a hill loch with brown trout

Despite its seclusion, Tulchan is highly accessible. Grantown‑on‑Spey lies nine miles away, while Inverness Airport - offering UK and European connections, private jet access and an adjacent heliport - is only 38 miles to the north.

Luke French, Head of Rural Agency, Savills Scotland, commented: “Tulchan is an estate like no other. Multi-faceted rural enterprises of this calibre and scale are rare. A world-class hospitality offering runs in parallel with environmental stewardship of this glorious landscape. The vision to create something truly special is inspiring. The opportunity it offers is unmatched in Scotland today.”
