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!

Great banter, lovely staff who were all good craic. Bit of a trek out of the city (30 mins by taxi from the hostel). The games took a little over 2 hours and there were activities to suit all levels of skill and fitness. Definitely wear clothes you’re OK with getting dirty.
