Corsehope is easily accessible from the North or South. Corsehope is situated 16 miles south of Edinburgh near the village of Heriot off the A7 road. You find yourself in the hills where it is hard to believe you are so close to Scotland’s capital surrounded by stunning scenery and the feeling that you are secluded and remote in this beautiful setting far from the madding crowd.
As a well-known & established shooting Estate encompassing 2,000 acres the addition of Corsehope’s family run Simulated Game Days give you a unique day’s shooting replicating real driven Grouse, Pheasant, Partridge, Duck & Rabbit shooting by substituting clays for birds that fly or run like the real thing in the real surroundings at a fraction of the cost. For those who love their shooting, Simulated Game Shooting allows you to shoot all year round and fine tune your skill with the bonus of better weather in the summer months.
The emphasis is on fun amongst friends, family or colleagues guaranteeing a well organised and professional day and an experience to remember amid relaxed surroundings inspiring you to return many times.
Simulated Game Shooting is like any game shooting day in that you will need appropriate footwear for rough ground which may be wet under foot. Strong shoes or boots, wellies if conditions require, waterproofs and extra jackets depending on weather conditions.
Please bring your own gun, & we recommend you bring safety glasses, ear defenders, a cap or hat, and gloves for hand protection depending on how enthusiastic you are at pulling the trigger. We can supply eyes and ear protection if required.
Throughout the day safety & protection is paramount, attention to detail in replicating the real deal is what we are after.

"On arrival at Corsehope Matt and Alex Walgate gave us a wonderfully warm welcome and team chat over freshly brewed coffee. Corsehope is set in a stunning part of the Borders, the simulated shoot was testing, interesting, invigorating and incredibly close to the real thing! The inclusion of 11’s, and the traditional long shoot lunch made for a perfect day in the field. We were a large group Everyone had the most splendid day out. We couldn’t recommend Corsehope more and I’m sure we’ll be back next year."
