Edinburgh has always been one of the more popular UK destinations for stag and hen parties, but due to the surge of the Euro and the worry of the credit crunch Edinburgh has been the hot spot for spending your last days of freedom in 2008.

Glasgow and Aberdeen have also had dramatic increases in stag and hen weekend enquiries, which have made Scotland the current financial and trendiest stag and hen destination through these turbulent economic times.

Men and women all over England, Wales and Ireland are using Scotland as their weekend location before getting hitched and this is because of the rising flight and travel prices that are deterring people from heading to the more Glamorous but expensive European countries.

Scotland has seen this impressive rise in business because future brides and grooms still want an exciting and memorable stag weekend or hen party. Scotland offers a weekend away without all the expensive travel and has been described as a ‘trip abroad without going abroad’.

Edinburgh matches up to many of the popular European cities in terms of nightlife, accommodation, restaurants, activities and sights. The capital is filled with culture and history and has numerous festivals running throughout the year. Many young people are drawn to the fashionable areas of the city and of course the huge selection of bars and clubs that have seen Edinburgh one of the party capitals of world.

Apart from the unpredictable weather, Scotland’s cities are becoming popular destinations to get away and enjoy an unforgettable stag / hen weekend without having to include the credit crunch into your financial decisions.
