Our top 10 team building venues in Edinburgh

30 Jul 2009 by Stuart Moffett

StuartI have been lucky enough to work all over the world , visit great venues and take part in team building with many different cultures. However, since moving to Edinburgh in 2006 I've realised that some of the best indoor team building and outdoor team building venues are now right on my doorstop.

When I joined Maximillion in 2006, I was thrust into the world of corporate team building and given the opportunity to see some of the most historic, attractive and funky venues in Edinburgh. They rank amongst the very best on the planet, and in my opinion, the best ten, in no particular order, are:

1. The EICA

TBEICAA short distance from Edinburgh city centre, the Edinburgh International Climbing Arena is a cool, contemporary and spectacular venue that lends itself well to indoor team building such as Maelstrom, Kinetic Connections, Eden and Take One. Built in a former quarry, the venue is also one of the world's premier climbing arenas and as such offers lots of adrenaline-filled climbing activities.

More gentle team building activities such as Mixology, Create and Paint or Team Works In can easily be held in most of Edinburgh's beautiful hotels such as:

2. Radisson SAS

3. Apex Hotels

4. The Roxburghe

5. Sheraton

These central Edinburgh venues are also great starting and ending venues for some of our outdoor team building events held in the city centre such as Taxi, Espionage or The Fugitive.

For an outdoor event that demands more space such as It's a Knockout, Outdoor Pursuits, Highland Fling or Check Point Challenge, there are plenty of options in the beautiful countryside around the capital. My recommended venues that could accommodate such events are a short distance from the city and include:

6. Dundas Castle

7. Norton House Hotel

8. Hopetoun House 

9. Harburn House

Then, last but not least, mention must be made of the stunning:

10. Kirknewton Stables

Kirknewton StablesLocated just 12 miles from the city centre, Maximillion manages this fabulous venue which boasts a walled garden, 600 acres of parkland and policies, a high ropes course, a 4 x 4 track, an orienteering course and a "Challege Zone" with set team tasks.
