Overview

Get ready for an authentic taste of Scottish tradition with these exciting Highland games! In your clans, you'll compete in challenges like tossing the caber, hurling the wellies, the farmer’s dash, puttin’ the stane, tyre flip, the haggis malt challenge, weight o’er the bar, tossing the hammer, and tug o' war. The winning team will take home a prize—a bottle of whisky or prosecco to celebrate their victory. Next, it’s time to test your precision with our state-of-the-art air rifles! Each participant will compete individually, taking aim at the bullseye to rack up the highest points. Who will prove to be the sharpest shooter and come out on top? Let the challenge begin!

The highland games were very good, splitting the group into teams made it a lot more competitive, even more so as our team were competing against one of the instructors (who had made up the numbers). The instructors were very knowledgeable and explained each of the events in detail and were on hand to provide more guidance when each person did the event. The games were laid out in a structured way and the scoring system was also good. I particularly enjoyed the hammer throw, caber tossing and the tug of war events as they were well matched for my physique. I believe that the whole party had a great time and should we come back to Edinburgh for another stag party I will definitely recommend this company and this event.

A superb event and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. It may have been cold and very muddy but that added to the fun. Special mention to our host James who although very professional had a brilliant sense of humour.
