If your stag do has headed across the border then you might find yourself wanting to partake in some Scottish traditions. We’re sure that you can manage the drinking of a few wee drams on your own. But if you’re looking for something more? Then sign up for your very own version of the Highland Games! You and your mates will be separated into clans to compete against one another. You’ll clash in all the classics such as the Tyre Flip and the legendary Tossing the Caber. Competitive levels are guaranteed to surge throughout, so we advise assigning a forfeit for a losing team.
Bring out a wee kilt and get ready for a tournament of The Ultimate Highland Games on your stag do in Edinburgh. These games are for the truly hearty and involve old-time Scottish traditions such as Tossing the Caber (where participants literally throw tree trunks as far as they can), Hurling the Wellies (where it’s wellies instead of trees) and Tossing the Hammer (you get the jist!).
It's essentially a ridiculous, testosterone-driven few hours of Scottish-themed challenges that also just so happen to take place in stunning Scottish scenery. Try your hand at The Farmer’s Dash, Puttin’ the Stane, Tyre Flip, and the Malt Haggis Challenge. This is an afternoon that will have you in stitches of laughter as your stag and his clan compete in the ultimate Highland Games challenge. Led by kilt-cladden instructors. The victorious team will receive a bottle of Whiskey!
