Your luxury Scotland New Years tour then continues in Edinburgh. Here you will have the opportunity to witness the commencement of the Hogmanay celebrations.

First, watch the torchlight procession tradition where thousands of participants carry their fiery torches through the Old Town to kick off Hogmanay on December 29th.

Next, spend some time in Edinburgh for last-minute shopping or touring. A charismatic kilted adventure guide will whisk you away in a private Land Rover on a half-day tour. Journey to the high tops through a land sculptured by the elements and steeped in history, culture, and nature. Learn all about the history of the area and get a real feel for what it’s like to live and work in this part of Scotland. Undoubtedly, the highlight will be the breathtaking views across Loch Lomond and Loch Long.

Finally, don your cocktail dress or tuxedo for Balmoral's legendary Hogmanay Ball on New Year's Eve. Enjoy a Champagne reception with canapes, followed by a lavish six-course menu with paired wines and live music entertainment. As the new year approaches, you will view the famous fireworks above Edinburgh Castle from the warmth and opulence of the Sir Walter Scott function suite, with a pipe band playing at midnight.
