Christmas Night Market at Balgove Larder
There's something about a farm shop after dark in December, and Balgove Larder, just outside St Andrews, makes an evening of it with its Christmas Night Market on Tuesday 1 December.
A Festive Gathering at the Castle
3–18December
For a few afternoons this December, the North Tower Bar at Inverness Castle turns festive. You start with a seasonal cocktail, then settle in with handmade canapés, music and the room dressed for Christmas. It's a relaxed way to mark the end of the year with colleagues, clients, friends or family, without the full Christmas dinner. There are two sittings, from 12 noon to 2.30pm and from 3pm to 5.30pm, on Thursdays and Fridays from 3 to 18 December, with only the lunchtime sitting on Thursday 10 December. Tickets are £25 a person, booked through the Inverness Castle Experience.
