We hosted an unforgettable Highland Games experience at the stunning Carnell Estate — a celebration packed with competition, laughter, and authentic Scottish flair.
The Event
Jana and Allan chose our Highland Games package for their pre-wedding celebration at Carnell Estate in Ayrshire. With guests travelling from across the UK and beyond, they wanted an experience that would bring everyone together and showcase the best of Scottish culture.
Highland Games Challenges
Our professional Scottish host greeted the group in full Highland regalia and kicked off the competition with a rousing team energiser. Teams were dressed in tartans and kilts, instantly creating the spirit and camaraderie that makes Highland Games so special.
- Caber Toss — The iconic Highland challenge that always draws a crowd
- Haggis Hurling — Who can throw the furthest? Always raises a laugh
- Tug of War — The ultimate test of team strength and unity
- Welly Wanging — A classic Scottish challenge with surprising technique
- Archery — Precision, focus, and friendly competition
A Perfect Venue for a Scottish Celebration
Carnell Estate provided the perfect backdrop for the Highland Games — beautiful grounds, stunning Ayrshire scenery, and the authentic Scottish atmosphere that made the day truly special. The estate's sweeping lawns gave us the space to run multiple challenge stations simultaneously, so every guest was always competing rather than waiting.

Highland Games Beyond Corporate Events
Jana and Allan's celebration proved something we've always believed: Highland Games isn't just for corporate teams. It's the perfect format for any group that wants to laugh, compete, and create memories together — whether it's a pre-wedding gathering, a milestone birthday, a family reunion, or a corporate away day.
The combination of Scottish tradition and friendly rivalry works every single time, and the tartans and kilts create an instant sense of occasion that no other activity can replicate. See how we've delivered Highland Games at other fantastic venues: a corporate team day at Gosford House in East Lothian, and our Highland Games and Big Mix Up Quiz for Bridging Insights at Barony Castle.
