A good friend hitting 50 decided the Highland Fling Swing had to be ticked off his bucket list and of course I agreed to go with him. He thinks I’m there for moral support, but truth be told… I’m actually really looking forward to it.

The animals have given me such joy over the last 20 odd years the least I can do is chuck myself off a platform for them to raise a few pennies.

The Highland Fling bridge swing offers a bridge swing experience from a specially designed swing platform 40 metres above the River Garry. Rigged in a full body harness we quick release you from above, dropping into a free fall of around 15 meters before the rope takes the slack and you accelerate through an arc under the bungee platform where the main anchors are attached.
