Edinburgh
I’ve heard that a Scotsman is the only man on earth who would step over the bodies of a dozen bronzed naked beauties just to get to a glass of whiskey. It may not be entirely true, but it’s an encouraging sign for anyone looking to plan a stag weekend in Edinburgh. Edinburgh is close enough to England to entice the nervous traveller, but far enough afield to make it an exciting adventure away. It has an array of nightlife to please everyone, from the joys of student life, to upper-class evening entertainment. There’s a pub crawlers paradise area, and also a haven for theatre-goers, so even the most refined person is guaranteed to be satisfied. With regard to activities, Edinburgh is a superb location, in particular if you are looking for events that make the most of the natural landscape, such as white water rafting, river bugs, gorge walking and quad bike trekking. Many of these activities are unavailable in other locations across the UK (especially white water rafting and other river based activities), so Edinburgh stag weekends are ideal for those that are looking for something a bit different. Edinburgh also boasts its own airport, with regular and cheap flights from most other UK airports, so getting there can be a lot simpler than most people will first assume. Whether you’re keen to be high on culture or high on whiskey, there’s no doubt Edinburgh can stir up a bit of fun for any stag weekend. No doubt, it will also be a very memorable one.
