Our festivities begin on Christmas Eve with a Champagne Reception with Canapés, to give everyone the opportunity to meet their fellow guests over the Christmas break.

During the Reception, Lochaber Children's Choir will come and sing some new and traditional Christmas Carols. The Choir, which is mainly local children, visit the Castle annually and the singing, with the added atmosphere of candlelight, is a delightful way to spend the evening. This is followed by dinner accompanied by Clelland Barrie, our resident pianist, playing in the Great Hall.

This morning why not brave the winter weather with a stroll along Inverlochy's grounds, which offers stunning views of the Castle with Ben Nevis, Britain's highest mountain in the background. For those who wish less energetic pursuits, a log fire burns welcomingly in the Great Hall, ideal for snuggling up to with a good book.

A glass of Champagne is served as Father Christmas promises to put in an appearance, bearing gifts to all our guests.
