Falconry is one of the oldest and most aristocratic sports. As a beginner at The British School of Falconry at the Gleneagles Hotel in Scotland, under expert tuition, you will be introduced to the centuries-old traditions and pleasures of flying hawks, delighting in the varied character of each bird.

Equipped with Barbour jacket and falconer's glove, you will be guided in the art of handling and flying Harris hawks. Once you have grasped the basics of falconry you will then be able to test your new found skills in the field.

At Gleneagles, professional falconers provide instruction to meet every level of experience and involvement. Basic techniques are taught during introductory falconry lessons and skills can be developed further during sessions when guests can fly birds of prey at game, on sporting ground adjoining the Gleneagles estate.

Novice and experienced falconers alike will delight in the outstanding falconry opportunities afforded by the surrounding Scottish countryside and the school's facilities.
