Christmas Decorations

Winter, Christmas & New Year

What to expect:

In the Highlands many seasonal businesses close for the Winter, there will be some options to eat out, but none on Christmas Day or New Years Day.

However our Lodges are well equipped for a real self-catering experience :0)

​

I will update this page with information, once businesses release it
