Fun and entertainment Scotland

The Hebrides Celtic Festival takes place in the town of Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis. It returns every year in July to celebrate its culture. For several days, local and international music groups invade the town. The main concerts are held in the gardens of Lady Lever Park. Created in 1996, it protects and promotes the Gaelic heritage that is part of the heart of the Outer Hebrides. It is above all a cultural phenomenon for its community. It is one of the biggest Celtic events in the country.

The Milnes Bar welcomes you in a generously traditional atmosphere. The establishment gets lost in small rooms and nooks to adapt to the desires of conviviality or intimacy of all, on 2 floors and offers a wide choice of beers (for the many craft beers, go to the basement), gins, cocktails and a small catering menu quite complete. Sports fans? The pub offers sports broadcasts.

Literary anecdote: Milnes Bar is nicknamed the "Poets' pub". Indeed, in the 1950s and 1960s, it resonated with the fiery debates of two famous national poets: Hugh MacDiarmid and Norman MacCaig. The room downstairs was named The Little Kremlin in memory of those verbal jousting matches.

Local, freshly prepared food: that's what this friendly tea shop and restaurant believes in. That, and also that the products from Scotland are the best in the world. We will gladly prove them right! Everything here is simple and good. The menu and the suggestions change regularly, according to the seasons and the inspirations in the kitchen. Everything served is homemade, even jams, chutneys... Coffee and tea are also locally sourced: teas from Braithwaites (Dundee) and coffee from CG Coffee (Glasgow).

This old ship is far from being a newcomer to Perth... as it is the oldest pub in the city, dating back to 1665. For several centuries it has been hidden away in the old High Street, a few steps from the Tay River, out of sight. This traditional pub is known and appreciated for its friendly and authentic welcome, but also, of course, for its Cask Ales, its impressive collection of gins (more than 250), but also its numerous whiskies. It is also a high place for sports broadcasts: the place to be on match evenings.

Welcome to a magical microcosm. Sharmanka was born in St. Petersburg in 1989 from the imagination of Eduard Bersudsky and, after having fascinated the whole of Europe, took root in Glasgow. For 55 minutes, you escape into a steampunk uchrony with characters made of wood and scrap metal. The poetic choreography invites you to daydream for young and old alike. Bewitching music, lighting effects and an incredible atmosphere are on the program. The show is in English.

R-Cade is a unique and unusual concept in Glasgow, as the first Japanese-style retro game arcade café in Scotland. Its specialty will thrill geeks : computer games from the last 5 decades.

The place also has its own café, freely accessible even to non-gamers, with a typical Japanese snack bar menu.

The establishment, which opened in January 2019, has made its way into Dundee's top 5 trendiest bars in just a few short months. This success is the result of word-of-mouth, which boasts an excellent address because it is original and stylish, as well as friendly.

This coffee isn't just coffee... Located in the charming setting of a water mill, it is also a bookstore and an art gallery. A cosy and cultural place, warm and relaxed, it is one of those establishments where you could spend several hours. You will find freshly ground coffee, teas of course, homemade cakes, sandwiches and soups of the day. In the summer, a sunny terrace pushes the walls and offers another beautiful space to take your time.

This lovely café-tea room is located halfway between the Talisker distillery and Dunvegan Castle & Gardens: it is therefore the perfect stopover between two visits on Skye. The charm works thanks to a decoration between vintage and girly, but probably also because the place is a bookshop. In the plate, it is not a question of being seduced anymore: we are conquered by the home-made scones, the various pastries and cakes, the snacks, soups and dishes. Everything is freshly prepared and tasty, all in a warm family atmosphere.
