Take the opportunity to discover the Scots and their culture during your visit to Glenlivet and the Cairngorms National Park.
Tomintoul is proud to host it's own Highland Games, which are one of the highlights of the year. First held in 1842, these are one of the oldest in Scotland. They celebrate all things Scottish, from whisky to bagpipes and tartans. Alongside the "heavy" sports in Tomintoul's Public Park, there are piping competitions, Highland Dancing and - a local speciality - the Tomnabat Hill Race.
Pipe Bands, Highland Dancing and Ceilidhs are all part of the regular weeks entertainment in nearby Dufftown throughout the summer months.
Why not visit during one of the Whisky Festivals held in early May and at the end of September. Or you could come to our annual Walking Festival in early September and head for the hills.
Hogmanay (New Year's Eve) is always a special time in Scotland. Feasting, singing, dancing, pipe bands and fireworks all combine to make seeing in the New Year an unforgettable experience. |
