Historical Note
loch Choire was formerly part
of the Sutherland Estates, in the
days when the Dukes of Sutherland
owned virtually the whole county.
It is reputed that the 5th Duke of
Sutherland favoured the estate
of Loch Choire above all his
properties and considered it to
be the “jewel in the crown”. As a
result it was one of the last of the
estates to be sold in 1975.
Loch Choire has also been
visited by a range of notable
commentators and is specifically
mentioned in William Scrope’s “The
Art of Deer Stalking,” published in
1839. Scrope described how much
of Sutherland had been improved
for sheep farming and wrote of “the
extensive, varied and celebrated
hunting forest of Dirrie-Chatt”,
of which “Loch Corr” formed a
substantial part, and “Ben Klibreck,
which rises to an elevation of 3,200
feet... and forms the dominant
object within the scenery”.
It is also recorded that the practice
of driving deer continued well into
the 20th century with the Duke of
Sutherland organising a deer drive
at Loch Choire for King Alfonso
of Spain in 1928. This operation,
centred around Bheallach, required
massive organisation entailing
many men who drove in the whole
of the Klibreck range and resulted
in very limited results with King
Alfonso killing seven stags and
most of the stags breaking back
through the line of the beaters.
Others who have visited Loch
Choire include Raoul Millais, the
sporting artist. When visiting Loch
Choire in the 1940s he ventured
alone into the Black Wood on
the shores of Loch Bheallach
in chase of a lame, limping
stag. The woodland was almost
impenetrable, everything seemed
to be dead or dying, and when
he reached an open glade he
was startled to see stags rising
all around, clearly all of a great
age. At first he thought they were
phantoms and the only humane
action seemed to be to finish them
off so he shot the nearest three
with the remainder drifting away
into the surrounding trees. The
stalker was relieved to see him
return unscathed and Millais himself
always remained disconcerted
by the experience which he often
described as “somewhere between
this world and the next”.
Other visitors of note include
Winston Churchill who sketched
the estate whilst staying there.

situatioN
the nearest village is Helmsdale,
a fishing port situated at the mouth
of the River Helmsdale, which has a
number of local amenities including
a post office, butcher, restaurant,
tackle shop and an inn. The train
station at Kinbrace (15 miles) on
the North Highland line connects
to the main railway network at
Inverness from where there is
a sleeper service to London.
Inverness provides all the services
expected of a major regional
city, with its airport (107 miles)
offering direct services to London
Luton and Gatwick, Edinburgh,
Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol
and Amsterdam, with connections
to worldwide destinations. The
estate can be reached in 30
minutes by helicopter from
Inverness Airport. Wick Airport lies
70 miles to the north-east.
DescriptioN
loch Choire Estate is located in
central Sutherland, about 100 miles
north of Inverness. It extends to
about 12,959 hectares (32,021
acres) and is one of the finest
sporting estates in the North of
Scotland.
In October 2014, The Field
magazine included Loch Choire
in its ultimate list of “the 50 best
sporting estates” in the UK on
account of its breathtaking scenery,
its “wild” sport and its staggering
scale.
The estate runs from typical
Caithness flow country in the east,
to the sub-alpine summit of Ben
Klibreck on the western edge and
encompasses some fifty square
miles of Highland wilderness and
two significant lochs - Loch a’
Bhealach (Lake of the Pass) at 1.5
miles long and Loch Choire (Lake
of the Hollow) at just over 3 miles
long.
The estate falls between Loch
Naver to the north, Badanloch to
the east, Ben Armine to the south
and Loch Shin to the west. It
encompasses one spectacular
central glen running south-west
to north-east, with Loch Choire
the main feature at its core. In
all weathers it is a paradise of
mountain, moorland, loch and
forest. From the sandy shores
of Loch Choire the hill ground
rises with impressive buttresses
to 704m (2,311 feet) at the top of
Ben Armine and rears upwards
on the opposite side towards the
summit of Ben Klibreck at 961m
(3,154 feet). Sporting guests and
tenants have often marvelled at
the panorama from Ben Klibreck
where there is an outstanding
view of three different coastlines:
south-east across the Moray Firth/
Aberdeenshire; north-east across
to Orkney and west to the Western
Isles.
Loch Choire remains one of
Scotland’s real wildernesses
extending in all to a staggering
50 square miles. As well as the
superb sport it has to offer, the
estate boasts a huge variety of
both flora and fauna and birdlife
(a list of the different species that
have been seen is available).
It is a place to relish the absolute
personal remoteness and to
develop the joy of childhood
memories of family picnics,
swimming in the crystal clear
waters of the loch, catching fish
and barbequing on the long white
sandy beach which stretches along
the southern shore of Loch Choire
itself.
There are some wonderful walks,
such as the climb to Creag an
Lochain on the western edge of the
estate, a steep testing walk up from
a Bhealaich alongside the Spouts
(fast flowing waterfalls carved into
the rock) with breathtaking views
as your reward, and the destination
Creag an Lochain itself, a small
loch under a massive cliff face
which often yields three quarter
pound fish that really fight.
The River Mallart, itself an excellent
salmon river, is the major tributary
of the renowned River Naver.
The Mallart is the outflow of
Loch Choire and runs north-east
then north, heading ultimately to
Strath Naver and out to the north
coast. Waters from the southern
and eastern edges of the estate
flow into the Rivers Brora and
Helmsdale respectively.
The situation of the original lodge
(built in 1880) at the head of Loch
Choire was carefully chosen by
the 4th Duke of Sutherland by his
son-in-law, Henry Chaplin. The
lodge was severely damaged by
fire in 2013 and the site has been
cleared to allow a new owner the
opportunity to build a lodge specific
to their requirements (subject to
obtaining the necessary consents).
The estate road, formed of
compacted gravel and sand, runs
from the estate initially north-east
along the course of the River
Mallart before turning east over
open moorland towards Badanloch
where it joins the public highway.
The solum of the road is owned in
its entirety by the estate.
Access over the estate itself is well
provided for with the existence
of many miles of pony paths
and tracks which have been well
maintained and are suitable for
use by Argocat. Along the track
adjacent to the river are a number
of fishing huts and shelters sited in
strategic locations.

RedDeerStalkingStags:1stAugust~20thOctober;Hinds:21stOctober~15thFebruary
A number of impressive corries run off the main glen, both to the north and south,
allowing two rifles to stalk each day regardless of weather conditions and wind
directions, although the best winds are generally from the north and north-west. The
expectation is for eight stags each week from August to October with extraction by
Argocat.
Loch Choire has always held a consistent resident deer population with numbers
increasing over the summer and autumn months from neighbouring estates. Deer count
records have been kept since 1899, showing a relatively stable population fluctuating
between 1,300 and 1,600 deer, according to the time of year and weather. The most
recent aerial count, undertaken in December 2008, returned a total of 1,224 deer,
368 of which were recorded as stags and showing an overall density of 9.67 deer per
sq.km. The estate falls within the East Sutherland Deer Management Group and is an
active member.
WalkedupGrouse12thAugust~10thDecember
A few walked up grouse days over pointers with bags generally in the order of five brace
per day can be enjoyed over the estate in August and September. Ptarmigan are also
present on the higher ground, particularly on Ben Klibreck.
In common with many northern estates grouse numbers have fluctuated in recent
years with 278 and 291 brace shot in 1988 and 1989 respectively. The highest grouse
numbers were recorded in the early 1900s when 500 brace for the season was not
unusual. Black grouse were also regularly accounted for within the game records until
the 1940s and, encouragingly, a small number have been seen again since the most
recent woodland planting.
SalmonFishing11thJanuary~30thSeptemberinclusive
The fishing on the River Mallart runs for about 6 miles with over 30 named pools. The
season opens on 11th January, although fish have seldom been known to pass the
Mallart Falls until late May or early June, and runs until 30th September inclusive, with
fishing by fly only throughout the season.
The river is best fished with a single handed rod after a spate and various techniques
have often been used successfully including fishing with a dry fly on a greased line, or
even daddy-long-legs, to catch both salmon and grilse. It provides some very enjoyable
sport in stunning surroundings.
WildBrownTroutFishing15thMarch~6thOctober
Exceptional brown trout fishing can be enjoyed on Loch Choire itself, either from the
shore or by boat as well as on the six additional lochs located elsewhere on the estate.
Loch Truderscaig in particular offers excellent trout fishing, especially in June, July and
early August when mayfly are present.
Trout generally run at three to the pound, but specimens of up to 5lb have been caught
in Loch Choire. It is documented that several of the hill lochs at the south western end
were stocked with trout from Loch Leven in 1895. Arctic Char are also found in Loch
Choire and Loch Truderscaig.
The average annual catch from all the estate lochs is generally in excess of 1,200
trout.

Forestry
the forestry at Loch Choire extends to approximately 443 hectares (1,094 acres) and comprises a
diverse mixture of native woodland and conifer plantations.
The mature conifer plantations were planted around 1890 when the lodge was first built and some of the
trees have provided timber for estate use and firewood. Further conifer plantations were planted in the
1970s. A significant native woodland planting scheme was undertaken in 2011-12, when 328 hectares
(811 acres) were enclosed and planted with a mix of birch, willow, pine, larch and some oak, particularly
in the northern compartment. Some additional areas of existing broadleaf woodland were also enclosed
at that time to encourage and protect regeneration.
A Native Woodland Plan has been prepared by the owners, further details of which are available from the
sellers’ agents.
Both black grouse and roe deer have been seen since the native woodlands were planted.
There was a significant amount of windblow following the storms in January 2015. The process of tidying
up fallen timber is in progress.
reNewables
a desk top feasibility study was prepared for a potential hydro scheme located on the Allt a Chuillinn
Burn in 2012 which indicated that a 50–80 kW scheme, which could serve the residential properties and
workshop on the estate, would be possible. Further details are available from the selling agents.
locH cHoire loDge site
the site of the original lodge was carefully considered. The elevated site at the south-east corner
overlooking Loch Choire was without doubt chosen to take advantage of the spectacular vista it affords.
The romance of the setting is enhanced by the majestic mature pines which shelter the site from the
west and the iconic delicate silver birch which lead down to the water’s edge. A wooden jetty provides a
perfect mooring for the estate boats below.
The former Loch Choire Lodge was destroyed by fire in 2013. The remains have now been cleared,
and the site it once occupied offers the opportunity for a purchaser to build a new lodge to their own
requirements and specifications.
Conceptual plans for a new lodge have been prepared by ANTA and are available from the selling agents.

SportingBothySited on the shore of the loch, not far from the source of the
Mallart, a sporting bothy, for use by sporting tenants, was
constructed in 2013 comprising an open plan sitting room and
kitchen with wood burning stove, large store room, rod and drying
room, WC and shower room.
DeerLarderLying adjacent to the sporting bothy is the original deer larder
which is well equipped with winch and rails and naturally kept at a
constant temperature of 6 degrees.
BoatHouseSituated on the shore of Loch Choire is a traditional boat house
and two jetties.
Stalker’sHouseBuilt in 2009, this attractive detached house is situated to the
rear of the original lodge at the eastern end of Loch Choire and
is currently occupied by the stalker. Timber-framed and clad
under a slate roof, it has a timber extension providing a boiler
room housing a biomass boiler with a large heat store. The
accommodation over two storeys comprises a sitting room,
kitchen, three bedrooms, a bathroom and a shower room.
Outside there are separate outbuildings including three dog
kennels.
SchoolHouseBuilt in 1900 with a corrugated iron roof and cladding over a
timber frame, the accommodation over two storeys comprises a
sitting room/living room, kitchen, bathroom with separate shower,
utility room on the ground floor and three bedrooms and separate
WC on the first floor. The School House was re-furbished in 2013
and is now used by small parties of fishermen and stalkers.
Bothy
A basic bothy, attached to the School House, again timber
framed with corrugated iron roof and cladding, is used by the
seasonal stalker.
AlltaLairdThis traditional stone built cottage occupies a very private spot
to the north of the loch and enjoys a southerly aspect. The
accommodation is on two floors and is un-modernised but it is
sometimes used by parties as bothy accommodation.

EstateBuildingsSituated below the Stalker’s
House are a number of traditional
estate buildings including a
timber framed and clad general
purpose shed currently used as
the main workshop and garage,
a former stable building clad in
corrugated iron, now incorporating
a workshop, store and sawmill, a
fuel store, and a disused set of dog
kennels. A log shed and a peat
store lie closer to the site of the
former lodge. Next to the estate
drive are a generator shed with oil
store within, and a timber framed
hay barn and general purpose
shed with concrete floor, used
for machinery storage and timber
processing. Further along the drive
is an old stone building used as a
feed store.
HillBothiesTwo former stables on the Estate
have been converted to hill bothies
for the use of sporting tenants and
walkers: Coire na Fearna Stable
situated at the southern end of
Loch Choire and Shellachan
Stable situated on the southern
boundary below Ben Armine.
