Day 1
Monday: Arrive at hotel and enjoy dinner and entertainment
Your group will arrive to a warm Scottish welcome. Gather for a drinks reception whilst listening to the Highland Bagpipes being played.

Day 2
Tuesday: Optional excursion to the Isle of Mull
After tucking into a full Scottish breakfast why not take your group around some of the amazing west coast of Scotland sights. From Oban, take the 55 minute ferry crossing to Mull, the fourth largest of the Scottish Islands. Tobermory, the island’s main town, was built as a fishing port in the late 18th century. It is a picture postcard of a place with the brightly painted buildings along the main street. The village was used as the setting for the children’s television programme ‘Balamory’. Be sure to bring your group back with an appetite as they will partake in a pre-drinks reception of Mulled Wine, then enjoy a delicious three course Carvery Dinner followed by an evening of Scottish Entertainment.
