Brave hearts and cool kilts

A Cosa event in Scotland

If you’ve never been part of a clan, you’ll probably never fully understand Scottish culture and traditions. What’s the purpose behind the tartan patterns? And why are trees being tossed around?  There’s a reason for everything, as the participants of this anniversary trip found out when they became honorary clan members. In the spirit of camaraderie, they explored new regions, competed in traditional games and celebrated together in grand festivities.

Highlights

Living traditions up close

The Highland Games originally served as a test of strength between clans, where young warriors competed fiercely.

We organised a personalised version of the games, featuring Highland dancing, archery and a (lightweight) caber toss: entertaining contests of skill and teamwork.

Which clan could triumph with strength and intellect to claim glory and honour? The day culminated in a traditional clan dinner.

Outdoor adventure

Beautiful Loch Lomond was the setting for an exhilarating RIB tour, paired with exciting off-road driving adventures.

Up on a hilltop, a heated army tent with high-quality catering provided the ultimate lunch experience, adding to the day’s excitement.

Lastly, a spectacular bird show, with an educational display of birds’ magnificent flying and hunting skills.

Stirling Castle is colorfully illuminated for the gala dinner on the last evening of an event in Scotland.

Stirling Castle

A majestic fortress perched on a cliff provided an unforgettable setting for the gala evening – and the iconic castle was exclusively opened for the group.

An outdoor aperitif to the evocative sounds of bagpipes, with guests then following the piper to dinner in the Great Hall.

In true Scottish tradition, participants wore national dress – kilts for the men and sashes for the women.

Dive into Scotland

Clans have been part of Scotland for centuries, most notably through the different tartans and traditional family names such as MacDonald or Campbell. Although Scotland is no longer an independent country, it is a nation within the United Kingdom with its own parliament, government, flag and even Scottish pounds. And it still has its own unqiue identity, which is more than simply kilts of many colours but also bagpipes, haggis, whisky and very distinctive cows.
