Reflections on Loch Lomond


NEW YEAR, NEW PLACE 9


WHOLESOME HOGMANAY A welcome glass of buck’s fizz, a full Scottish breakfast every day and morning views across the misty waters of Loch Lomond: here’s to


a serene kind of Hogmanay. Shearings offers a plethora of trips to Scotland’s sleepier spots to celebrate the New Year, but the Loch Lomond itinerary is particularly special: clients will visit the lively city of Glasgow on New Year’s Eve, where a fireside pint is always in order.


Back in Loch Lomond, guests can join in a communal chorus of Auld Lang Syne as the clock strikes midnight, before eating a big brunch and whiling


away time by the loch on New Year’s Day. BOOK IT: Hogmanay on Loch Lomond and Glasgow, which departs on December 30, starts at £459 per person from a range of pick-up points, including three nights’ B&B and three dinners. shearings.com
