Celebrate New Year in the Heart of the Scottish Highlands
When you ask most people the best place to celebrate New Year, Scotland will often be the first choice. Steeped in the history of generations, the celebrations have an authenticity, which draws crowds from far and wide. Hogmanay is the Scottish word for ‘the last day of the year’, enabling revellers to celebrate the incoming New Year.
Sometimes, around this time of year, your favourite friends and places might start to appear a little lacklustre and unexciting. It’s nothing new; it happens to everyone; it’s called the winter blues. The good news is it’s not catching, so if you’re tired of being cooped up indoors, make a break for the big outdoors.
Booking a week in the casual luxury of Dunalastair Hotel Suites will work wonders, re-energising your spirits to where they rightly belong.
The countryside around Dunalastair Hotel Suites can’t help to work its magic. Snowcapped mountains, dark green forests, and the winter shades of heather will leave you feeling centred and calm.
