Sporting lodge

Glas-allt-Shiel, Glen Muick - one of the sporting lodges owned by King Charles III on the Balmoral Estate

In Great Britain and Ireland a sporting lodge – also known as a hunting lodge, hunting box, fishing hut, shooting box, or shooting lodge – is a building designed to provide lodging for those practising the sports of hunting, shooting, fishing, stalking, falconry, coursing and other similar rural sporting pursuits.

Sporting lodges can be an ancillary building on part of an established country estate in closer proximity to where the sport takes place, however they are oftentimes also the principal residence at the centre of a separate dedicated Sporting Estate[1][2]
