Highland Hotel 5 Day New Year Break
First Day
Arrive at the Highland Hotel in time for dinner.
30th December - A trip to Inverness, the 'Highland Capital'
Also known as the ‘Highland Capital’, Inverness is the main city in the Scottish Highlands and although it is one of the fastest growing cities in Europe it still retains its market town atmosphere. Inverness offers a wide range of local produce and shops to explore as well as castles and heritage sites. Just a short distance away lies Scotland’s most famous Loch, known around the world thanks to its elusive monster. The Loch Ness Monster, Nessie, is undoubtedly the biggest attraction in the area. There have been rumours of a beast in the water since the 7th century but the first recorded sightings date back to 1933. The legend of Nessie remains unproven but explore this area to see for yourself! In the afternoon adventure into the glorious Scottish Highlands as you travel towards Aviemore. The dramatic mountain environments and dark woodlands are some of the most remote wildernesses in Scotland. In the evening enjoy a complimentary sherry reception followed by dinner and entertainment.
Hogmanay - Visit the Caledonian Canal & Neptune's Staircase
Enjoy a leisurely morning with the chance to explore the town, relax with a book or join in our programme of activities. After lunch at the hotel your driver will be waiting to take you on a visit to the Caledonian Canal. Visit the Caledonian Canal to see the great feat of Scottish engineering, stretching 60 miles through the stunning Great Glen. The Canal is a masterpiece and Neptune’s Staircase, built by Thomas Telford between 1803-1822, is the longest staircase lock in Britain. Return to the hotel where dinner and entertainment will be held in the evening as you see in the bells and celebrate the start of the new year!
New Year's Day - A day of festivities & fun
Celebrate the new year with brunch followed by a varied programme of entertainment. Enjoy a day of leisure to take a local stroll or relax by our open fires before light snacks are served in the afternoon. In the evening, dinner will be served followed by entertainment to round off your Scottish Hogmanay.
