top-class fishing and field sports, good food and warm Hebridean hospitality.
​
The Castle is located in North Harris on the road to Hushinish, run as a traditional sporting estate with guests staying in the Castle itself and in a number of cottages.

Venison Casserole
1. Mix and combine corn flour, spices of your choice, black pepper and salt. Toss pieces of meat in seasoned flour, shake off excess flour.
2. Fry meat in batches in hot olive oil until browned on all sides. Take them out with a slotted spoon and place on a paper kitchen towel.
3. Return the meat to the pan, deglaze with red wine. Set aside.
4. Chop onions, celery, parsley and carrots in a blender to make a sofrito (a mixture of chopped vegetables). Fry in a pressure cooker pot in olive oil for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Add chopped fresh red pepper and juniper berries, sauté briefly.
6. Add meat with wine, beef broth, tomato paste and bay leaf, stir, cover and lock lid on pressure cooker.
7. When pressure is reached, turn heat down to low. Continue cooking for 20 minutes. Release pressure naturally.
