Few appreciate Christmas as much as the Scots, after the holiday was famously made illegal for a period in the 17th century, meaning Scotland had some making up to do! So it makes sense to go to the epicentre of all things festive and of course to Father Christmas himself. 

And so, don’t delay, and depart from Glasgow this winter on on a festive day trip or short break to Lapland. Leaving Scotland early in the morning, the 3.5-hour flight takes you high into the Arctic Circle. Deep in True Lapland, the snow-clad forests and frozen lakes will seem like a different world. 

Drive snowmobiles, mush husky sleds and ride reindeer sleighs through the picture-perfect landscape. Of course, no visit to Lapland would be complete without a visit to see Santa – you’ve travelled a long way to see him! Returning to Glasgow later that evening or a few days later, you’ll be filled with memories to last a lifetime!

Transun offer Arctic Spirit breaks for grown-ups too! Spend several nights immersed in Europe's last unspoiled wilderness. You'll have chances to see the spectacle of the Northern Lights while also enjoying a wide array of unique excursions, such as visiting a Sami reindeer camp.

Thermals under kilts are highly recommended.
