Castle Game Scotland was created by Andy Smith and Neil Gilmour in 2018. Both share a passion for gamekeeping and deer stalking and as such have many years’ experience in this industry. They had a shared goal of supplying local, high-quality, and sustainable produce sourced from Scotland’s natural larder.
 
Since 2018 the company has grown to supply high-quality meat on a wholesale basis to many of Scotland’s well-known eateries, as well as selling directly to the customers through online orders or at their shop located just outside Edinburgh. The team deliver a bespoke game butcher service and have created a community by building relationships with each individual customer to deliver their exact requirements.
 
Wholesale customers range from small scale food trucks and Michelin star restaurants to boutique food stores. All their meat is sourced locally from around the central belt of Scotland which works well for restaurants that are environmentally conscious, encourage the field to fork movement or who look to promote Scottish produce.
 
Following the covid pandemic and the requirement for customers to acquire the Castle Game produce directly, in 2020 the team opened a shop at Trinlaymire Farm and created an online store through their website. The farm shop is open on Friday and Saturday morning and stocks a selection of cuts of game and locally sourced beef as well as unique recipes such as their homemade game sausages.
 
At the farm shop they also sell homemade salts and rubs, cheeses supplied by I.J Mellis Cheesemonger, bread supplied by Company Bakery and seafood and lobsters supplied by Seacliff SA. All the supplying companies are based around Edinburgh and the Lothians, as part of our locally sourced ethos.
