Set in the grounds of Dalmahoy Estate, Morton
Clay Targets is Edinburgh’s preeminent club for
shooting enthusiasts. Members and non-members
alike are welcome to practice open shooting, while
the club is prized for its four skeet layouts which
have helped make it one of Scotland’s major sites
for hosting competitions. If you can wangle it with
your work, an afternoon of clay pigeon shooting
isn’t just an excellent team-building exercise – it’s
a rewarding pursuit that can lead to a real sense
of achievement. If you’ve never pointed a shotgun
at a moving clay target before, now’s your chance
to learn: complete tuition is provided, while
equipment, safety briefing and insurance all come
as standard. Whether you’re a hen or stag group
or a bunch of mates looking to try something new,
the beautiful Dalmahoy Estate is the setting for a
unique day out.
