Tank Driving Scotland : Military Themed Experiences

The New Recruit experience is a grouped activity allowing you to experience the thrill of driving a real 18 tonne army tank!  The rest of the troop will be in the crew compartment, so you will have to negotiate the obstacles on the course with consideration (only a little)!

Geared up in army kit, you will firstly have the opportunity to experience traveling in the hull with your troops.  We do have seats, but not much else in there.  Our tanks are ex-military and have all seen active service - you will see the bullet holes for yourself!  This gives you a chance to see what real soldiers encounter, and all you have to worry about is telling your friends what a great time you had!

You will also act as commander during the experience, standing out of the hatch directly behind the driver.  We’ll drop you off at the observation bunker in the centre of the course, where you’ll also have a great opportunity to take some shots at your comrades (Photographic or video of course)!

After your experience, as long as the tank comes back in one piece, you will be awarded a Tank Driving Scotland Certificate of Achievement. (Looks good on the wall).  Your group will be a maximum of 6 people, who will all have the opportunity to drive.  You’ll be with us for around an hour and a half. New Recruit experiences run on set days each month.

The New Recruit Experience is a fantastic outing.  It makes for a great gift, or we won’t judge if you treat yourself to some excitement. Please note to drive our tanks, you must be over 5ft in height.  If you are under 5ft, you can come as a Civilian or Commander for a ride in the vehicles.
