6 Days in Scotland for New Year’s: The Ultimate Backpacker Hogmanay & Scottish Highlands Bus Tour

Make your New Year's unforgettable with six days of Scottish adventure, city exploring and Highland magic! Start your trip in the heart of Edinburgh with welcome drinks, a Scottish whisky tasting and tasty nibbles, before joining a traditional Scottish ceilidh party.

​

Explore Scotland's capital on a guided Edinburgh walking tour, discovering the city's winding Old Town streets, fascinating history and iconic landmarks. Then swap city streets for mountain views as you hike up Arthur's Seat, Edinburgh's famous extinct volcano, for incredible views across the city and beyond.

​

The celebrations reach their peak on New Year's Eve, with tickets to Edinburgh's legendary Hogmanay Street Party included. Join thousands of revellers in the heart of Edinburgh for one of the world's most famous New Year's Eve celebrations.

​

Then it's time to leave the city behind and head north into the wild landscapes of the Scottish Highlands. Spend three nights exploring dramatic mountains, ancient glens, shimmering lochs and some of Scotland's most spectacular scenery with our local guides. Discover the legendary Isle of Skye, explore historic castles and take in rugged Highland landscapes as you experience the best of Scotland in winter.

​

With two nights in Edinburgh and three nights in the Highlands, this is more than just a Hogmanay celebration. It's the ultimate six-day Scotland adventure, combining Edinburgh's history and nightlife with the wild beauty of the Highlands.

​

There are two departure dates available: 27th December and 2nd January, giving you the option to celebrate New Year's Eve at the start or end of your Scottish adventure.
