0 Comments

 
​There are many great events happening in Scotland in 2018. With the second year of the highly successfully TRNSMT Festival returning to Glasgow Green for a second year, the upcoming Scotland v England Six Nations game at Murrayfield and of course, the world famed Edinburgh Fringe Festival, there really is something for everyone.

Feis Ile: Islay Festival of Malt & Music
25 May-2 June

​The Isle of Islay is known as the centre of whisky tourism, with eight active distilleries on the island. Islay annually hosts Fèis Ìle – a “Festival of Malt and Music” held in the last week on May.
They host a diverse programme featuring traditional music, ceilidhs, Gaelic lessons, golf, bowling and whisky tasting, and for the last number of years all the Islay distilleries have held open days throughout the week of the festival, adding to the mix!

The Royal Highland Show
21-24 June

The Royal Highland Show is Scotland’s annual farming and countryside showcase, which first began almost 200 years ago. The show is organised by the Royal Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland.
The show is held annually at the Royal Highland Centre in Ingliston, over the second-last weekend in June. The event attracts over a thousand exhibiters

TRNSMT Festival
29 June-1 July, 6 July, 8 July

​When it was announced last year that the iconic T in the Park festival was being replaced, TRNSMT had some big boots to fill. But fill them they did – the Glasgow Green-based festival was highly successful and was granted a second year.
With such popular acts such as Liam Gallagher, The Killers, the Arctic Monkeys, Stereophonics, The Script, Franz Ferdinand, James Bay and Jessie J, this year’s two weekends are not ones to miss.

The Open Championship
19-22 July

​The 147th Open Championship will be held 19-22 July 2018 at Carnoustie Golf Links in Angus, Scotland, and is the eighth Open Championship played at Carnoustie.

The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo
3-25 August

​The annual Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo takes place on the esplanade of Edinburgh Castle every August, as part of the Edinburgh Festival. It features a series of military tattoos performed by the British Armed Forces, Commonwealth and international military bands, as well as artistic performance teams.

The Edinburgh Festival Fringe
3-27 August

​The world’s largest arts festival, last year The Fringe featured 53,232 performances of 3,398 show in 300 venues, meaning there is literally something for everyone’s taste and sense of humour. The Fringe was established in 1947 as an alternative to the Edinburgh International Festival and has become very popular with performers all over the world, especially within the comedy circuit. 
​With hundreds of performances running every day from 3rd to 27th August, this is a must for everyone, whether you’ve never been to the Fringe before or you go every year!

Truckfest
4-5 August

Truckfest is an annual transport festival in the UK, centred on trucks and the haulage industry. Truckfest will visit Scotland on 4th-5th August at the Royal Highland Centre, Ingliston, and as well as monster truck and fire engine displays, there is fun for all the family including live music, a fun fair, and much, much more!

Glasgow Whisky Festival
