Dalhousie falcon 1.

Dalhousie Castle Falconry.

Whilst returning this falcon to its roost following a display and flight demonstration to a group of visitors it was startled for an unknown reason.

The well trained handler quickly regained control and was able to settle this bird of prey quickly.

Dalhousie Castle is an 800 year old castle located approximately 8 miles from Edinburgh and was the family castle of the Ramsay Clan.

Today the castle still retains its famous heritage of the sport of falconry which is contained within the grounds of the estate.

Unlike its predecessors the falconry is used for more peaceful and entertaining purposes by allowing visitors to get up close and personal with these magnificent birds of prey.

Highly trained falconers provide the visitor with a totally unique experience by displaying hawks, eagles, falcons and owls.

There are several packages on offer for visitors to select for this great experience.
