The 5 bedroom fish farm house was renovated in 1991 and affords a comfortable sanctuary. The living room has a large picture window affording a wonderful view over the upper loch. The house has a well maintained garden with soft fruit, vegetables and a wide selection of flowers.

The present owners are selling to expand their game bird rearing enterprise. They have run the farm for 20 years, have bred all the trout species, made their own triploiding vessel and produced triploided trout. They have a great deal of experience and would welcome the chance to assist the new owners to expand the business. They intend moving to the adjacent cottage on the site for one year whilst the game farm house is built off-site and thereafter would offer the additional house and the adjacent cottage building site, for sale to the new owners.

Top quality Salmon and sea-trout fishing is also available nearby with access to the rivers Ythan, Deveron, Don and Dee. The fishery is supplied from our own farm where fish over 20 lb have been grown. Being set equidistant between Inverurie, Peterhead and Aberdeen means that a large catchment of anglers can be catered for. There are numerous excellent golf courses in the vicinity, from Cruden Bay, Duff House Royal in Banff to Turriff, Longside and Ellon.

Fishing is an expanding pastime. With the rivers producing fewer fish there has been a large expansion in the number of fisheries but there are few fish farms to supply them. Additional farms are unlikely due to the restriction of abstraction consents thus fish farms like this are jewels, supplying superb quality disease free fish for local anglers. The present owners changed the focus of the business from producing table trout to supplying live trout for anglers in response to the expansion in the angling market. Whilst trout farming is still very labour intensive much of the heavy work has been reduced by careful planning and mechanical aids. The present owners concentrated mainly on the farm and it is thought there is considerable room for expansion of the fishery.
