For our first incentive Highland Games event of the 2019 season, we had a great turn out all round. We had the perfect Highland Games field. Well drained and flat, with picturesque views of the Firth of Forth on the approach, and the impressive, historic Hopetoun House to provide a stunning Scottish backdrop to the games. We had perfect Scottish weather; for a February morning, it turned out crisp with some mist. By the time the games commenced, the sun was out and it was a blistering 13 degrees! Our clients were [...]

A Guest Blog - by Chris White www.edinburghwhiskyblog.com Driving up to Kinross House is what I imagine rolling up to a country mansion in Downton Abbey is like. This magnificent building sits on the shores of Loch Leven and was the first neoclassical Palladian mansion to be built in Scotland, in 1685, and was the recent setting for a rather special whisky tasting. Our guests, from all over the world, had requested the ‘Connoisseurs Tasting’ which really kicks things up a notch when it comes to interesting, old, [...]

Thursday afternoon kicked off with one of our superb Highland games experiences with six teams battling it out for glory, despite the changeable weather.

Creating my Contemporary Harris Tweed kilt outfit Being a proud Scotsman and spending much of my time in a kilt, when the time came for a new one I really wanted to create something made in Scotland from Scottish materials.  Being such an exciting and rewarding experience I wanted to share it, and  some of the knowledge I gathered during the journey. The first step in the process was deciding what fabric I wanted to use in the kilt.  I knew I didn't want to go for a traditional tartan, and tweed [...]
