For Memorable Stag Weekends, Perth is the Place to Be!

You have just been asked to be the best man at your best friend's wedding. As well as the daunting task of writing an unforgettable speech, you have the unenviable task of organising the all-important stag weekend.

Of course, all the big UK cities will spring to mind as potential destinations - you may even consider going abroad. However, why go to all the hassle of booking flights, dusting off your passport and changing currency, when there is a great place in Scotland to hold that memorable last weekend of freedom.

Perth is a truly great place to host a stag weekend. It is the gateway to the picturesque Scottish highlands, and its stunning scenery makes a great backdrop for some of the most challenging and exciting activities the UK has to offer.

Whether you are looking for adventure, sport, some chill-out time or simply a great night out, Perth has it all to give, even for the pickiest bunch of stags.

Situated on the east coast of Scotland, Perth boasts access to the local rivers of the Tay, Tummel, Braan, Orchy and Ericht. These provide the perfect surroundings for a vast array of adrenalin-fuelled activities - including canoeing, abseiling, white water rafting, kayaking and cliff jumping, as well as many other outdoor pursuits.

If you like to have fun on four wheels, you could try quad biking, rage buggy racing, outdoor go-karting, blindfold driving or even rallying. There are also plenty of opportunities to engage in a spot of woodland or multi-trap clay pigeon shooting, or why not have a go at caber tossing, tug o' war or haggis rolling, by booking your party in to take part in some highland games, where you will truly immerse yourself in the Scottish spirit.

When drawing up an itinerary for the perfect stag weekends, Perth also has a lot of great nightlife to offer even the most seasoned party animals. There are a great selection of bars, pubs, restaurants and night clubs, where you can unwind after a busy day outdoors, and just enjoy a few beers with the lads - or you may want to keep the adrenalin pumping, by putting on your dancing shoes and heading to the nearest club.

If you are looking to widen your horizons, then there are also plenty of places to visit in Perth that will satisfy even the hungriest cultural appetite. There are galleries, museums and places of historical interest aplenty, and you will be spoilt for choice.

Accommodation can be found in abundance for your stay in Perth. There are many hotels, B&Bs, hostels and self-catering apartments for let. If you want to totally throw yourself into the countryside life, you could even rent a small cottage for the weekend.

If this all sounds like too much to get sorted out, remember that there are specialist companies to be found online that can take the stress and strain of getting the whole thing organised for you. They will book your daytime activities, organise VIP admission to the hottest nightspots and also sort your hotel or B&B reservations.

Perth is easily accessible by car, and there are plenty of safe, secure car parks in the city centre, which will give you easy access to everything this great place has to offer. It also has great bus and rail links, with the railway station located only a short walk from the centre.

So if you are thinking of booking the perfect stag weekend that has it all, then you should definitely make a beeline for the fantastic Scottish gem that is Perth.
