Whether it is to release some stress, emulate your action idols or just for the heck of it, shooting at Melville Castle is guaranteed to start your day with a bang. If the luxury accommodation and dining of Melville Castle isn't relaxing enough, release your stress further by blasting some innocent clays!

For guests of the castle, Melville Castle has teamed up with its close neighbour - The Arniston Estate. Depending on the number of participants and the time of year, guests can experience the power and exhilaration of shooting clays, either in the wooded estate of Melville Castle or Arniston House.

With fully qualified instructors to help at all times, the castle caters for the novice as well as the experienced.

With a wide range of targets, Melville offers a fun packed day for all participants. The range consists of 10 stands, each offering numerous disciplines from the high pheasant, automatic ball trap, crossing pairs and many more.

Archery, one of the most ancient forms of warfare, played a significant role in Scotland's colourful history, of which Melville Castle did not shy away from.

Make your stay at Melville Castle a true historic experience, and try your hand at bowmanship under the careful eye and expert tuition of the qualified instructor.

Archery is an excellent way to unwind, especially when set in the scenic landscape of the Melville Estate.
