Scotland’s leading resorts get ready to take their Hogmanay getaways centre stage

WHEN it comes to celebrating Hogmanay, nowhere does it quite like Scotland. 

From lively ceilidhs and champagne toasts, to late night dancing and New Year’s Day adventures, there really is something for everyone to enjoy. 

Scotland’s leading family-friendly hotel group, the Crieff Hydro Family of Hotels, has unveiled a specially curated programme of New Year’s Eve events that combines warm hospitality and outstanding entertainment, perfect for making memories with all your loved ones. 

Richard Leckie, Associate Director of Crieff Hydro Family of Hotels, said: “There’s something really magical about celebrating Hogmanay in Scotland and we believe our resorts capture the very best of that spirit this festive season.

“This year, Crieff Hydro, Peebles Hydro and the rest of our properties across the Scottish Borders, Perthshire and the Highlands have unveiled a really exciting programme of events that are all about celebrating great food, brilliant music and moments that bring people together. 

“At the end of the day, it’s all about bringing in the bells with the people you love, whether that’s dancing the night away, toasting the new year in with a glass of fizz or kicking your shoes off after midnight. 

“However you choose to celebrate, we’re here to make it a Hogmanay to remember.”
