Mortlach Sporting
About Us
Mortlach Sporting was established in 1987 by Steve Wright.
A born and bred native of the
Grampian Region of Scotland, Steve (right) along with his team of guides and
helpers offer visiting sportsmen and women a tremendous variety of shooting,
stalking and fishing programmes tailored to individual requirements.
Steve was brought up in the family saddlery business, and for the first eight years of his working life followed in the family tradition. Wright's of Huntly, the saddlery business is still based in Scotland today, serving the needs of sporting estates and individuals throughout the UK, and has an enviable reputation for quality and service; its customers are many and varied, indeed ranging from gamekeeper to Earl, and the business has enjoyed Royal patronage since 1977, when the firm was commissioned to make coach harnesses for the Queen's Silver Jubilee celebrations.
Realising that there was an upsurge in interest in traditional country pursuits, Steve set out on his own to set up a sporting agency, with an unerring aim to provide the best in honest, reliable and quality sport. That was way back in the mid Eighties, and Steve has been specialising in organising and arranging sport for visiting sportsmen and women ever since.
A keen deer stalker himself, Steve has also been committed to arranging top quality stalking for continental and US sportsmen, and can arrange the best quality "fair chase" trophy hunts for the discriminating Rifle. Mortlach Sporting arranges stalking on some of Scotland's most renowned deer forests and Estates for the 4 species of deer found in Scotland. More recently, he has been involved with the marketing and production of first class wild venison and game, supplying some of the discerning tables in the region with finest cuts of venison and properly-handled and prepared game.
