Highland Games in Edinburgh
What a wee gem of a hen party activity!
Fun is the order of the day when you and your girls get involved in this age old Scottish tradition. Although instead of the usual hunky scots taking party, it’s time for the men to move over and let the ladies have a go.
Highland Games Experience
Get ready to don a wee kilt and unleash your inner Highland warrior with an afternoon of Highland Games for your hen do in Edinburgh! These games are all about embracing the fun of old-time Scottish traditions, like Tossing the Caber (yep, that means throwing actual tree trunks), Hurling the Wellies (a lighter but just as fun twist), and Tossing the Hammer (you can imagine the rest!).
It’s a hilarious, energy-packed few hours of Scottish-themed challenges set against the backdrop of breathtaking Scottish scenery. Give it your all in The Farmer’s Dash, Puttin’ the Stane, Tyre Flip, and the Malt Haggis Challenge. Get ready for an afternoon full of belly laughs as your bride tribe competes in the ultimate Highland Games showdown. Guided by kilt-clad instructors, you’ll be treated to ‘See You Jimmy!’ hats, Irn Bru, and Shortbread snacks (because what’s a Scottish event without them?). The winning team will take home a bottle of whisky to toast their victory!
And if it’s raining (this is Scotland, after all), don’t worry—wellies and waterproofs will be provided. Just make sure to wear sensible shoes and bring your best competitive spirit. This is a day you won't want to miss!
