Falconry
Experience the 4000-year-old art of falconry on the beautiful borders of Dumfries, Galloway and Ayrshire while enjoying the home comforts and relaxed atmosphere of the Black Clauchrie House.
Guests can enjoy plenty of hands on involvement, in friendly and informal surroundings - from basic handling skills, to luring, swinging and free flying in the beautiful surrounding countryside.
Be amazed as a falcon stoops at 150mph within inches of you. Fly hawks, falcons, owls, vultures and get up close to a golden eagle on our falconry course special breaks. Experience up to 20 charismatic raptors, all within your reach.
