Christmas Eve
This Christmas Eve visit the Ben Nevis Distillery which dates back to 1825 making it one of the oldest in Scotland. Enjoy our national drink at the foot of Britain’s highest mountain and enjoy the spectacular view. Afterwards continue to the Caledonian Canal to see the great feat of Scottish engineering, stretching 60 miles through the stunning Great Glen, before heading to Spean Bridge to see the Commando Monument. After a day of exploring the local area return to the Highland Hotel for a complimentary sherry reception before dinner and live entertainment.
Christmas Day
Discover the history of Loch Ness from the ice age to the third millennium in a seven room, themed, automated walk through. Explore the history of the loch and the many mysteries and explorations that have surrounded its past. Learn about the rumours, the hoaxes and the truths and discover what may really live in Loch Ness. Using a highly effective mixture of animations, lasers and special effects, visitors can experience the history of the monster by exploring Scotland’s geological past and folklore. Find out what has been discovered and what research has been done and view some of the actual equipment used to explore and navigate the Loch. In the evening enjoy your traditional Christmas Dinner with all the trimmings and live entertainment.
New Year's Eve
Fort William lies along the banks of Loch Linnhe and is just a short distance from spectacular Glencoe and Rannoch Moor. Glencoe is undoubtedly the most popular and scenic glen in Scotland. The sheer scale and grandeur of the landscape is sure to inspire and the turbulent history of the area will fascinate visitors. Then visit nearby Rannoch Moor – one of Scotland’s outstanding areas of natural wilderness and rugged beauty, followed by an included lunch at our Loch Awe Hotel. The theme tonight is New Year’s Eve and there will be a candlelit dinner and a Hogmanay party to celebrate!
