Your biggest decision is choosing what to do!
Events in Scotland present a cultural treat for lovers of the arts, music and sport, and for those of you looking for something a little out of the ordinary.
If you plan to visit anywhere near the city of Edinburgh in August, then please BOOK EARLY.
Our capital city is buzzing with festivals and events that attract overseas visitors in large numbers, to experience the true flavour of Scottish culture.
And it's little wonder when you see what's on offer.
Scotland events are absolutely booming, especially in the capital. The city of Edinburgh comes alive in both summer and winter, hosting some of the biggest and most popular Scotland events on our annual calendar, and attracting visitors from all over the world year after year ......
Here is an introduction to two of our major Scotland events that take place in August, with a link to a full page with more information .....

The Festival runs for three weeks, and is hugely popular, with workshops for writers, traditional music and dance, the 36-hours Festival Film Programme, free art exhibitions, puppet workshops and writing classes for children.

With Edinburgh Castle providing the background, The Tattoo is probably the most spectacular of Scotland events. It's the largest outdoor event in Edinburgh, attracting a worldwide tv audience of 100 million, and over 200,000 at the live show.
Music In Scotland is a gateway to Scotland's music and is dedicated to promoting music events and musicians with a Scottish connection to a world-wide audience. Find full listings for all Scotland Music Festivals
You can find tickets for all concerts, theatre and events including T in the Park and the Edinburgh Military Tattoo on the Buy Tickets page.
Sporting Events in Scotland are dominated by football, rugby union and golf, with football the most popular. However, outdoor activities like hiking, kayaking and cycling offer wide choices for visitors, and winter sports, like skiing, are very popular especially in the Scottish Highlands.
It's not possible to talk about events in Scotland without mentioning the Highland Games. This is a chance to see Scottish culture up close.

The summer months have a packed programme of Highland Games. The grand finale of the season is the Braemar Gathering, which is held on the first Saturday in September each year, and is always attended by a member of the Royal Family.
Winter in Scotland also sees other fantastic events taking place, like Glasgow on Ice, on from late November to late December. It's held in Glasgow's George Square and features non-stop music and ice dancing. Set on one of the biggest outdoor ice rinks in Europe, and with the
magical Christmas illuminations in place, it really is a beautiful sight.
Another of the great Scotland events starting late November is Edinburgh's Christmas, with most of the action taking place around Princes Street Gardens. This is a fabulous event with a host of highlights including Santa's Reindeer Garden, The Edinburgh Wheel, The Light Night, The Traditional German Christmas Market, The Great Scottish Santa Run and Winter Wonderland to get you going just in time for the Hogmanay Party.

Another of the most popular Scotland events not
to be missed is the fabulous and much celebrated Edinburgh Hogmanay Party, which is the world's biggest New Year bash, and it is also one of the safest and friendliest outdoor events in the world.
There are many great outdoor events taking place throughout the year, so it's worth checking the full annual calendar for :
