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.
