Ring in the New Year in Scotland with a Rail Holiday

A tour of the Oban Distillery will be a highlight of your New Year in Scotland rail holiday. Preparations for the evening's celebrations begin with a cocktail reception and dinner at the hotel. You can then welcome in the New Year to the music of a traditional ceilidh band whilst sipping on sparkling champagne. The following day, after the previous night's revelry, you will have the opportunity to relax in the comfort of the hotel enjoying a delicious brunch. In the evening, a highland banquet will be served, while the hotel's accordionist plays melodious compositions to accompany your meal.
