Celebrate new beginnings, opportunities and a fresh start and do it in a fine Scottish castle on the very edge of the sea. The house is decorated with four tall Christmas trees covered in seasonal tartan bows and presents, holly and mistletoe galore. It is a very traditional time. Long walks on the beach, sometimes with a Winter’s gale bringing a spectacular sea over the ramparts.

Sometimes sunny and warm with clear nights and the Northern Lights to make the visit truly memorable. Ackergill has the same ambient Winter temperature as Kew Gardens so there are always surprises to wake up to.
We always play golf, walk with the ranger, shoot the duck, fly a few clays and pull a few triggers in the rifle range. Perhaps dodge through The Spider’s Web or have a go on The Trebuchet. There’s always laughter and fun.
We will have a Grand Hogmanay Ball in the Opera House in Highland Dress.
We always celebrate in style.

An Imperial of claret at dinner, drams galore. Christopher on the pipes, the Highland lassies doing their flings, Addie on the squeeze box, Gordon on the fiddle. Then it's the Bells at Midnight and another year.
You will all know the words of ‘A Guid New Year to An and All’ and Johnnie will certainly make sure you know all the verses of ‘Auld Lang Syne’. A first-footing, a tall dark stranger, a piece of coal. A Happy New Year.
Above all Hogmanay is a time for family and friends. To be with the ones you know and to meet others of kindred spirit and fun.

So come and join us - but book very early or you may be too late!
