Holiday competition

Win a week's summer holiday in Scotland & year's supply of ice cream & chocolate!

Not sure whether the week's holiday in a Broch of Coigach in Scotland or the year's supply of ice cream and chocolate is more tempting! 🤔 Either way, they're all up for grabs as the main prize in this Mackie's of Scotland competition - along with an outdoor activity during the holiday, a "celebrate summer kit", and £300 spending money. So even if you get some inevitable Scottish rain, you'll have plenty to keep you occupied!

Brochs are iron-age roundhouses, but this one is something special. The Gille Buidhe's Broch is a modern recreation with luxurious touches from the wood burning stove to the sauna - so you will enjoy a break with breath-taking views, whatever the weather throws at you. The Broch has two bedrooms, two sitting rooms, enough for a couple who likes load of space, for two couples or for families.

There are also 20 runners-up prizes of 2 tubs of Mackie's ice cream and 4 bars of Mackie's chocolate.

Here's the prize rundown again:

  • The lucky winner can take their family or friends to the Gille Buidhe's Broch for a week in 2019. Includes: 
  • A day of outdoor activity like kayaking.
  • A Mackie’s Celebrate Summer kit - umbrella, beach towel, blanket & ice cream scoop.
  • £300 spending money.
  • A year's supply of Mackie’s ice cream and chocolate: 26 tubs of Mackie’s ice cream (1 litre) in voucher format and 26 bars of Mackie’s chocolate (120g).

Not quite sure how 26 tubs of ice cream and chocolate bars constitutes a year's supply...they certainly wouldn't get me very far! But sadly, I guess Mackie's has to have a limit 🙄

To enter, follow the link to Mackie's competition page, fill in your details, tell them three things you associate with summer, enter the numbers on screen, & click submit.
