Kick off your Edinburgh hen weekend with something active, competitive, and seriously good fun - a Highland Games experience packed with laughter, team spirit, and Scottish charm. This 90-minute session (with around an hour of hands-on activities) is a brilliant way to bring the group together and create unforgettable memories.
From the moment you arrive, you'll be greeted by your friendly instructors, who'll split you into rival clans (larger groups into more teams) before giving you a quick safety briefing and a lively introduction to the events. Then it's straight into the action!
You'll go head-to-head in a series of traditional Scottish challenges designed to test your strength, skill, and nerve - all with plenty of laughs along the way, including:
- Caber toss
- Haggis hurling
- Sword ring toss
- Welly wanging
- Putting the stone
- Weight for height
- Tug of war
If your scores are tied at the end, it all comes down to the Farmer's Dash finale - a madcap sprint that will decide which clan takes the crown. And because bragging rights alone aren't enough, the winning team will be awarded medals and miniature whiskies to toast their victory, while their fellow hens are left to weep into their porridge (or go off and drown their sorrows with a "wee dram").
Whether your hens are natural-born competitors or just in it for the fun, the Highland Games is the perfect mix of activity and entertainment, with plenty of opportunities for epic photos and hilarious stories to take home. It's also a great way to break the ice if not everyone in the group knows each other before the big night out.
Gather your clan, bring your best game face, and get ready to unleash your inner Highland heroine. Enquire today and we'll help you add this hilarious, high-energy highlight to your Edinburgh hen weekend.
