Perthshire Falconry was founded in the summer of 1995 by veteran Falconer “Adrian
Hallgarth”.
Adrian has practised falconry for over 20yrs, having learned his trade from his
grandfather who practised the art in Derbyshire for over 50 yrs.
Adrian has used his skills professionally for the past 16 yr., and in that time
he has travelled extensively both in Europe and the USA.
Having taught falconry at two of the UK's most established Schools and having
built up and managed one of the largest collections of birds of prey in the UK
he decided it was time to work for himself.
In the summer of 1995 his present collection numbered only 8 birds, but with
skill and dedication, the collection has quickly grown as has the company.
We now employ 7 full time staff and 3 part time.
Perthshire Falconry Services are now internationally recognised as a leader
in their field of expertise.
