β€œI brought a group of work colleagues for a session at Strathblane and it was great! Graeme was knowledgeable and entertaining and we each had the unique experience of holding and flying some beautiful birds. Highly recommend.”

β€œThis is a MUST if you’re visiting from anywhere outside of Scotland! Our experience with Graeme and getting to interact with these beautiful birds left such a big imprint on our time there. It’s something we’ll always remember. The quaint country manor that the falconry is located on is the perfect venue for this type of activity, with beautiful wooded areas and a large open space to see the birds fly. It’s only a short taxi ride from Glasgow, and should be on everyone’s list of things to do in the Glasgow area! Master Falconer Graeme is such a character, we were laughing throughout the visit, and it’s clear he has such a passion for his birds, as well as an encyclopedic knowledge on falconry. We booked the half-day experience and more than happy with that, but would love to have been able to experience more!”

β€œMy partner and I booked an hour with Graeme and his lovely birds of prey and enjoyed every minute of it! Graeme is friendly and funny and has so many great stories and knowledge on all different types of birds, it was a pleasure to learn from him. We held / let fly falcons, eagles, owls and hawks, I absolutely loved it! The birds are so beautiful and majestic - we took pictures and, with Graeme’s direction, amazing slow motion videos ;) and made such great memories here!”
