August Bank Holiday Family Fun in The Scottish Highlands

Here at The Kingsmills Hotel in The Highlands of Scotland, we are continuing to enjoy the lazy hazy days of summer. And the forecasters (who we all know are never wrong about such things) tell us the sun will keep shining throughout August…here’s hoping!

 

There really is so much going on in The Highlands to keep you and your family entertained over the summer, with a wealth of activities for children on our doorstep. It really is a breath-taking part of Scotland in which to enjoy a family break over the August bank holiday weekend.

 

Discover Explore is a great online and offline game in which you and your family can become explorers.  You will discover hidden and extraordinary historical stories in and around the magical Great Glen.  You will uncover 400 million years of stories through a series of daring missions.  Click here to find out how you can take part.  There are so many iconic locations taking part in Discover Explore but you can equally visit them in your own leisurely time.

 

Culloden Battlefield is now restored to as close as it was on the fateful day when the two sides marched on it.  It takes on a whole new meaning with the exciting award-winning visitor centre now open.  Come and find out why this battle, which lasted only one hour, changed the way of life in The Highlands forever.

 

Merkinch Nature Reserve is a hidden gem in the heart of Inverness.  An area full of wildlife with roe deer, herons, cormorants, weasels and many colourful creatures, it will be a day well spent!
