Great weekend of laughter, wonderful shooting, golf, sea swims and some dodgy hats…. And a first pheasant for one gun which makes things all the more special. The variety of drives sorted the men from the boys - especially the new partridge drives!

Remember the wee lamb from our last post? She now has a name - meet Aero – the little lamb with a big story! 🐑

Rejected by her mother, Aero’s future looked uncertain—until one amazing ewe stepped in. With the help of an old shepherd’s trick (a jacket made from a lamb that sadly passed away), Aero was gently adopted and is now thriving, warm, and happy.

Swipe to see her before and after—first now, happy and adopted, second and third in her adoptive jacket, meeting her new Mum. This is the raw, beautiful side of life on a working island estate - and these real-life stories unfold daily here in the Dougarie Estate.

If you’re looking for an unforgettable escape this summer, come and stay with us. Breathe the fresh island air, wake to sea views, and maybe even meet some of the Estate residents.

🐑 Say hi to Aero below!

It’s moments like these — raw, real, and full of hope — that make the Isle of Arran so unforgettable.
