December 31st 2006
No time for rest as this morning at breakfast your tour leader will issue you with your Official Street Party Pass and you are free to take in all of the Hogmanay festivities. We’ll start with a massive group party at The Walkabout Inn for the NZ (11am) & AUS (1pm) New Year Celebrations and continue on through the afternoon. As night falls it's time to head into Princes Street for the world famous street party to see in the New Year...
Happy New Year!

January 1st 2007
Welcome to 2007….A late breakfast this morning and for those who are keen there is an afternoon trip to Stirling Castle. This incredible place is well worth a visit and a great day out to start the new year. Please note entry to the Castle is optional and the admission fee is not included [approx £8].

Although Stirling is a fantastic day out, we also offer another activity for New Years Day - The Looney Dook Mid Winter Swim. This event is fantastic and a great way to start the New Year. Participants join together at 11am and then at midday are lead by a Pipe Band through the streets of South Queensferry and into the Forth. After the quick swim every participant is invited back to the local pub for Hot Toddy and Soup compliments of owners. To make things a little more exciting the event is fancy dress!

Please Note: It is only possible to partake in one activity. Either the Stirling Castle Day Trip or The Looney Dook. We highly recommend the Looney Dook but the choice is yours!
