High hills, empty glens and miles of coastline accessible only by sea make the estate a haven for the ornithologist, the botanist, the hill walker and the photographer.

Guests are free to explore the estate at their own leisure or can participate in one or more of the activities offered, some of which are seasonal.

Fly-Fishing, Red Deer Stalking, Rough Shooting
Amhuinnsuicthe Castle is acknowledged as one of the finest sporting estates in Scotland. Ghillies are on hand and can offer full instruction for beginners as well as professional tips for more experienced guests.

The quality of the sea trout and salmon fishing on the Amhuinnsuidhe Castle Estate is unsurpassed. There are seven freshwater systems including Lochs Voshimid, Scourst, Halladale, Ulladale, Ladies, A’Ghlinne and Brunabhal. The estate has an enviable reputation throughout the fly fishing world. It caters for the more experienced fisherman as well as the novice, for whom instruction and guidance are readily available.

Except when the rivers are in spate, most of the fishing is done Hebridean fashion from a boat. There are five resident ghillies or stalkers to look after guests. Fishing is by fly only and ‘dapping’ which, when given right conditions, can be most effective. Spinning and trolling are not permitted.

The big sea trout start to run in June, with the salmon a week or two later. Weights are comparable to those found in similar waters in Scotland and Ireland, while numbers are generally greater. Sea trout average one to eight pounds, with salmon averaging five to eight pounds although, increasingly, salmon of up to fifteen pounds are being caught. The heaviest recorded salmon taken from an Amhuinnsuidhe Loch is 18.75lbs and the heaviest sea trout 11 lbs. The best recent seasons have produced over 200 salmon and over 900 sea trout.

Excellent brown trout and sea fishing are also available to those staying at Amhuinnsuidhe Castle Estate. The castle's own rib is on hand for this purpose as well as for sea trips and visits to nearby islands and beaches.
