A Scottish experience to remember! We will take the group to Lindores in Fife as seen on BBC's Scotland's Greatest Escape where we will have exclusive use of The Hide and The Barley House and a chef hosted BBQ lunch experience. Highland Games will be played, views will be remarkable and the company is sure to make memories!
