A touch of Royalty
With summer well and
truly arrived the City is filled with anticipation and excitement about the
upcoming start of the Royal Highland Show, this year taking part on the long
weekend of 19th- 22nd June. The Royal Highland Show—as it is known now—began in 1822 and was, in those days, a nomadic show
which travelled between various cities in each year. Only in 1959 did it
finally become static in Edinburgh, putting down roots as the Royal Highland
Show, after it was bestowed the title in 1948 by King George VI. Some of the main attractions of the Royal
Highland Show are the Livestock shows, where people exhibit their cattle, sheep,
ponies, horses, goats and many other breeds, hoping to win prizes. There is also the Rural and Agricultural part
of the show where visitors can view the huge variety of machines used in the
farming world. There are equine supplies, sporting goods for outdoor sports,
apparel and so much more. The weekend—Thursday through Sunday—is a plethora of
exhibitions, food, music, children’s events, entertainment and so much more to
entice all visitors.
An Event for all Seasons
If you intend to visit
for the entire Royal Highland Show you will probably want to book a weekend break in Edinburgh, starting from the Wednesday
night, through to the Sunday night or Monday morning. One of the best places to stay is the Dunstane
Hotel; right at the centre of all the action! Our boutique hotel is stylish,
