5 Sports Complexes in Scottish Highlands That You Shouldn't Miss

April 27, 2022 Renato Branum

The moody, romantic Scottish Highlands start at Loch Lomond just north of Glasgow. Comprising a slew of mountain ranges, this sparsely populated land is best seen by train on the West Highland Line. Mountains, lochs, bright heather and rhododendrons give way to white sand beaches and rugged coves as the train nears Mallaig. For a more active take on the region, hike the West Highland Way or visit the Trossachs National Park. Ben Nevis, a popular climbing spot, looms over the town of Fort William.

Brilliant couple of hours tuition with Anne Rebecca who was an excellent instructor - very personable, great encouragement for the kids and really good instruction/feedback all round for improving the technique. Also really helpful guidance on a few rock climbing routes later on in the day. Thank you! Great day out.

We had a fantastic holiday at Fairburn. We were there for four nights. We maxed out on all of the activities having one full day and one half day of activities. The team arranged in advance for us to do these because we said before we left what we thought we might like to do. We did Archery, Laser Tag in the forest (which was awesome for kids and adults), kayaking, raft building, orienteering and a very tall rope assisted climb called Jacobs ladder. All of these were instructor-led and Aaron (our instructor) was super cool and interacted really well with everyone in our family despite us all being different ages and genders. Some of them were done with other families ans some just with us four. It was great to meet the other families and my although I am quite reserved the team easily got us all having fun together . Some other things we did were: we shared a night by the bonfire in the forest with one of the other families which was great, we had a full day cycling out from the centre on an easy to follow but spectacular route, my son and I "sessioned" the MTB track and we did lots of little trips to sights nearby (a beach walk to see dolphins, a river walk to see salmon jumping, an evening visit to nearby Inverness and an unforgettable day driving right around Loch Ness.) Food was simple but good, everything was spotless and Covid friendly with the staff taking care to put measures in place to protect guests and staff. This place was great. The best thing was how relaxed everything was. The pace is slower, the internet is limited (but available if you really need it), the team are accommodating and friendly but not pushy and the setting and surrounds are natural and beautiful. Sandy the Manager really looked after us and all the guests. I would go back, it as a great place to get away from work and relax with my family.
