Murraypark Hotel - Comrie Flambeaux at Hogmanay

Murraypark - Comrie Flambeaux at Hogmanay

Festive breaks at the Murraypark Hotel


A nation renowned for its fantastic Hogmanay celebrations, Scotland’s towns and cities are engulfed by a dazzling display of ceilidhs, spectacular fireworks, fierce bonfires, rapturous festivals and much more come the 31st of December. Deeply engrained into Scottish culture and heritage, the celebration of Hogmanay brings with it a number of traditional customs that are fast proving to be major attractions for visitors from afar and closer to home to enjoy. From the world famous Edinburgh Hogmanay celebrations to the Stonehaven Fireball Festival, there truly is an outstanding array of majestic festivals spanning the country over.

Having said that, the Perthshire village of Comrie will play host to undoubtedly one of the most dramatic of celebrations – The Comrie Flambeaux. Torches are made from felled birch trees and paraded through the town by strong men, flames illuminating the streets and licking the night’s sky, before being thrown from a bridge into the River Earn, taking a whole year’s worth of evil spirits with them. A fantastic display of pipers, a bonfire and sometimes even a costume competition supplement the event which can be enjoyed by people of all ages.

Choose to enjoy this unique event and relish in one of the best New Year breaks Scotland has to offer. Stay at the nearby Murraypark hotel Crieff and relax in complete luxury, take a tranquil stroll through the surrounding scenic countryside before returning to the Murraypark hotel to escape in one of our relaxing and comfortable rooms.
