Prove your bravery and raise money for MND research at the Euan MacDonald Centre by getting sponsorship to do the Highland Fling!
The Highland Swing is a specially designed swing platform 40 metres above the River Garry. Rigged in a full body harness you'll be released from above, dropping into a free fall of around 15 metres before the rope takes the slack and you accelerate through an arc under the bungee platform where the main anchors are attached.
Book your place
You can book your place online at Bungee Jump Scotland (age, weight, and medical exemptions apply).
Every penny you raise in aid of the Euan MacDonald Centre will directly support research to improve the lives of people living with motor neuron disease (MND) and related conditions.
