The team had an amazing day delivering our Highland Games package to the AU Bureau team at the fantastic Gosford House!
A Stunning East Lothian Venue
We loved showing all of the teams the ropes of the Highland Games at this magnificent venue. Gosford House in East Lothian provided the perfect backdrop for the event — beautiful grounds, stunning scenery, and the authentic Scottish atmosphere that made the day truly special. The estate's expansive lawns allowed us to run multiple Highland challenge stations simultaneously, keeping every team member active throughout the day.
Classic Highland Challenges
Teams competed across a series of traditional Highland challenges including caber toss, haggis hurling, tug of war, welly wanging, and archery. Our professional Scottish host greeted the group in full Highland regalia and kept the energy high throughout the day.
The competitive spirit was fantastic, with every team giving their all in each challenge. The Highland Games format is brilliant for building team spirit and creating shared memories that last long after the event. It's one of over 25 options in our complete guide to team building activities.
Why Gosford House Works So Well for Highland Games
What sets Gosford House apart from other East Lothian venues is the sheer scale and grandeur of the grounds. The combination of manicured lawns, historic architecture, and open space creates an atmosphere that genuinely elevates the Highland Games experience. Teams feel like they're competing in a real Highland setting — which is exactly the spirit the activity is designed to capture.

Book Highland Games for Your Team
There's a reason the Highland Games is one of our most requested activities: it works for every personality type. The strategists plan the caber technique, the athletes throw themselves into the tug of war, and the comedians keep everyone laughing through the haggis hurl. Nobody sits on the sidelines — and that's what makes it so powerful as a team building tool.
