| EDINBURGH |
Edinburgh hosts one of the great weekends of the summer from 25th to 28th June. 160,000 visitors can't be wrong! That's the numbers that attend the Royal Highland Show, one of Scotland's top summer attractions, held at Ingliston near Edinburgh airport. A visit to the Royal Highland Show offers a multitude of features to enjoy with fine food and drink, prize-winning livestock, outdoor living and countryside, traditional rural skills, music, cookery demonstrations, forestry events, farm machinery, handicrafts, heavy horses and shopping, and these are just a few of the exciting attractions. This year a special welcome awaits overseas visitors - all part of the Homecoming Scotland 2009 celebrations. Look out for a colourful tartan feel with pipes and drums and other distinctive Scottish traditions. Whether your passion is beef cattle or BMX bikes, fashion or falconry, shortbread or sheepdog trials, a visit to the Royal Highland Show will leave your senses tingling. Daily admission is £22, but for further details on pre-booked tickets and concessions, check out the website. |
