We had a great Stag weekend with my friends. We had our weekend booked and organised just before lockdown. Clearly these were uncertain times and two years later I decided to reorganise the weekend when restrictions eased John was very accommodating and everything ran smoothly. Activities included a group meal on the Friday night, Hearts FC hospitality package on the Saturday afternoon before a Babes bar crawl on the Saturday night (Which ensured 22 lads were kept together and we gained entry without fuss to all bars and night clubs) All the lads enjoyed the weekend

I couldn’t thank John at Edinburgh…
I couldn’t thank John at Edinburgh enough. He went to great lengths to help book our mini Highland Games day. We had so much fun. 5 star ⭐️

Fantastic Stag Do
John was fantastic with the organisation of the stag do. We tried out the mini highland games for 9 of us, which was thoroughly enjoyed by all and really bought out a competitive nature in everyone. Would recommend this event to everyone! The transport was great too, right on time and the driver was very pleasant.

Highland Games review
Really enjoyed the Mini Highland Games as part of a Hen weekend. Staff were great and got everyone involved. Organising was made really easy by John who was great in adjusting our booking and organising the transport.

Helpful and Easy
John was very helpful throughout and made sure everything ran smoothly. Perhaps a little slow to respond at times, but always helpful and made sure our weekend went as well as possible.

5-star review of edinburghstag.com:
We did the Mini Highland Games and also the Paintballing through John at Edinburgh Stag & Hen Do Co. Both things went off without a hitch and the travel to and fro was perfectly on time. We also booked the accommodation on Gilmore Pl. With 18 fellas on the trip the accommodation had it's own key pad systems for each room and for the front door! No need to be bothering anyone about lost keys etc.

Highly Recommended!
We booked the Highland games followed by a whiskey tasting and it was fantastic! The day went seamlessly, we were picked up from where we requested by a minivan and then taken to the games which were run by a fantastic instructor, then back to the centre where we had the whiskey tasting. John was quick to respond, easy to get in touch with and organised everything we needed for a great day. He went above and beyond with recommendations on places to go and eat/drink too, would highly recommend anyone wanting to book a stag do in Edinburgh to use him! Thank you!

WHAT A FANTASTIC DAY 5 STARS EXCELLENT

What a fantastic day. We did the mini Highland games for my sister’s hen. Everyone absolutely loved it. Everything was well organised and it was a right laugh and we got to try lots of different activities. This suited our group as we had mix ages and one member of the group was pregnant so people were able to sit out certain activities if they didn’t feel up to it. Was lovely getting out of the city for a while and we got a stunning day for it. Thank you all again for such a great experience. We will definitely recommend this to friends.

MINI HIGHLAND GAMES WERE SO MUCH FUN !
The Mini Highland games were so much fun! The stag group I was with had a great time and really thought it was the highlight of our weekend-long trip to Edinburgh. The drive out from Edinburgh was just over an hour and our large group of 12 people meant that we had about 2 hours at the farm taking part in the games, which was well worth it. The setting was great and we really leant into the team spirit - as well as insulting each other all through the event, which really got everyone laughing. Really really great time. Highly recommend!
