Royal Highland Show 2009

25-28 June, 2009 Royal Highland Show

Guard your haggis fiercely at the Royal Highland Show. From birds of prey to over-zealous sheep dogs after some rewards, you may well have some competition for your food! Spotlighting the best that Scotland has to offer Edinburgh’s annual 4-day show located in Ingliston is equally perfect for wee kids to more mature visitors to Edinburgh.

Catch up with the locals. The 2008 Royal Highland Show had over 161,000 visitors, 1,000 exhibitors and, crucially, more than 4,000 animals. So you might meet some of your Scottish neighbours while you stay in ScottishApartment.com’s Edinburgh apartments:

• Royal Mile Apartments
• West End Apartments
• New Town Apartments
• and Newhaven Harbour Apartments.

What else can I do while I’m in town? Homecoming Scotland 2009 is a vast programme of events to welcome guests and showcase the best of Scotland. The Royal Highland Show is part of the Homecoming Scotland 2009 celebrations – see the Homecoming Scotland 2009 events calendar for full details.

It’s not all about deep-fried mars bars. Come to the show ready to try Scotland’s finest cuisine, including cranachan ice cream, chocolate fountains and award-winning haggis. Then burn some energy by wandering around the craft stalls for a little gentle exercise – look out for everything from watercolours to highland cow footstools.

Then head home for a well-earned rest in one of our Edinburgh apartments. Welcoming, independent and complete with kitchen and lounge, this is the way to see Edinburgh at its best.
