What's included

Door-to-door, in the traditional manner.

Every Griffin trip is fully inclusive. You travel light, we handle the rest.

Guided Hunting

Personally led by George or a hand-picked local guide. One party at a time, never a pool of guides.

Full-Board Lodging

Garvault House in the Highlands, a 16th-century manor in Norfolk. Proper meals, a fire in the evening, and a whisky on arrival.

Rifle & Ammunition

UK-compliant rifle (.270 or .308, fitted with a sound moderator) and ammunition sorted for you. No firearms paperwork from home required.

Airport Transfers

Door-to-door transport from Inverness, Edinburgh, or London — whichever route works for your week.

Trophy Preparation

In-field skinning and caping, with USDA export paperwork coordinated through our trusted Inverness taxidermist.

Local Knowledge

Every glen, corrie, and burn known intimately. The kind of detail that turns a hunt into a story you tell for years.

Why Griffin

Three things we won't compromise on

Hand-led

Every trip personally guided by George or a hand-picked local stalker. One party at a time, never volume. The opposite of an agency book.

Truly wild

No fences. No high seats. No shortcuts. The deer get the wind, the sight lines, and the home-ground advantage. You earn the shot or you walk off empty-handed.

All-inclusive

Lodge, meals, guiding, rifle hire, ammunition, airport transfers. One number, no surprises. The trip you booked is the trip you get.

A note from George

From the City to the country.

A year ago I was sitting in a seventh-floor office in the City of London, working at a management consultancy and thoroughly miserable. One Facebook advert and a two-minute call with my dad later, I'd handed in my notice and was driving north to ghillie a season in the Outer Hebrides.

That season changed everything. Griffin is what came out of it — an outfitting business built on the kind of attention to detail that only a founder-led operation can offer.
