Kick off the party with Mulled wine on arrival at the hostel!
Day 2 - Xmas Day
Enjoy a lazy Christmas Day, with a long lie and breakfast. Then why not head down to Fort Augustus to explore Loch Ness or if you lucky enough to get some snow why not build a snowman before heading back to the hostel to get spruced up for Christmas dinner followed by lots of Ceildh dancing!
