Highland Games: 
From White Lightning and the refrigerator to golf, hypodermic needles and gingers, let's face it, the Scots have made some pretty dazzling contributions to the human race. Now is your chance to have a taste of their favourite pastime, the Highland Games.

The games give you an opportunity to try your arm at traditional events that William Wallace himself used to get fit before taking on the might of the English army. Still incredibly popular amongst native Scots, the real Highland Games attract contestants from all over the world who astound huge crowds with their throwing and lifting feats accompanied by the sound of bagpipes.

If you haven't tossed in competition against your mates since private school, grab a caber and launch it far as possible. You may have had a go at the shotput when you were younger but why throw a ball of metal when you can throw a big stone? Have a go at tossing a sheaf (bundle of hay in a bag) over a pitchfork, or the ever-challenging 'weight over a bar' which is pretty self explanatory. Haggis rolling, hurling the wellies and tug o' war are also popular amongst the clansmen and women.

All of the events cater for punters of all shapes and sizes, so you don't have to be built like Geoff Capes to have a brilliant time. Kilts are optional.

You will partake in the following events:
* Tossing the Caber
* Weight over Bar
* Tossing the Hammer
* Haggis melt challenge
* Wellie Hurling
* Putting the Stane
* Farmers Dash
* Tug o War

Overview:
Reward your team with a fun filled day out of the office! The multi activity day combines the best of motorised and shooting activities that will ensure guests have a great day with a little something for everyone.

This event takes place in Kirknewton village on the edge of Edinburgh - just ten miles from the city centre. Set in the stunning parkland of Kirknewton Estate at a purpose built clay shooting ground, high ropes course, 4x4 track, archery range and quad trail, all within close proximity of each other.

Format:
Your group will be divided into teams and rotate around a selection of activities. The event concludes with a presentation where fun prizes are awarded to the winning teams.

Activities:
For groups up to 18 choose three activities, for groups of 18 or more choose four activities of the following list:

4x4 Offroad
Navigate around a 4x4 track, designed to introduce drivers to the skill of negotiating a variety of terrains including steep ascents, descents and traverses. Mud holes and river rides make this track a must for aspiring offroaders.

Blindfold Driving
Drive around the course, against the clock, wearing a blindfold! Don’t worry – team mates will be in the car with you, directing.

Clay Pigeon Shooting
This activity takes place on the purpose build Clay Shooting range at the site which incorporates four professionally built “butts” offering incoming, driven or crossing birds. Hitting a clay and seeing it “burst” in the sky guarantees a real buzz!

Archery
The Archery Range is built to a high spec offering a variety of targets and distances encouraging natural progression and achievement. Hugely satisfying skill to develop with a “thwack” of the arrow hitting the bull.

Quad Safari
Using a fleet of modern Yamaha Grizzly quads, these bikes are easily mastered and great fun. You will go on Safari following the instructor exploring the park and woodland with a wide variety of obstacles to cross.

High Ropes Course
The MadMax high ropes course can be used as a single activity session or as part of a MAD (multi activity day) session. Crate climb, leap of faith, Jacob’s ladder and death slide will all get the adrenaline pumping.

Highland Games:
Why not inject a little Scottish flavour into your activity day with Highland Games activities where everyone gets the chance to participate in traditional Highland events and sports. Perfect for any group size We can add on complementary activities such as a pipe band, dog & duck trials and a craft fair to provide a truly memorable day. Highland games is as full day and consists of:

Tossing the Caber:
This traditional event sees participants lifting large (well, enormous) poles so that they stand perpendicular to their bodies with the sharp end pointing to the sky. The pole is then tossed in the air so that the sharp end ends up pointing into the ground.

Weight Over Bar:
This involves nothing but balance and brute strength and a whole lotta Scottish ‘know how'. Basically you have to swing a weight over your head and over a bar which is behind you and just don't forget to let go!

Highland Dancing:
Get all the bonnie lads and lassies of your group together for a good old fashioned ‘highland fling'. Teams will watch a short demonstration of highland dancing to the skirl of the bagpipes before they have to dance the steps themselves.

Welly Boot Hurling:
It may not fall in the ‘traditional' category quite yet but Welly boot hurling is nothing if not hilarious fun and a great addition to the other games. You may think it's easy to throw a wellie towards a target but it gets a whole lot harder if you need to score points for your team.

Haggis Malt Challenge:
Try your hand at throwing Scotland's national dish as close as you can to Scotland's favourite drink. The punter who gets closest to the bottle of malt wins the challenge and the bottle....whether they'll share it is a whole other story...

Tug O'War:
Whether you opt for the whole hog of highland games or the mini version, your day will conclude with a grand finale of ‘tug o'war' where everyone can have one last chance to prove themselves and get in there for some laughs.

Catering:
On arrival guests will be offered coffee tea, soft drinks and home baking and following the activities guests return to the farm where a BBQ will be served - with vegetarian options - in the farmhouse.
