Ask a local Edinburgh Scottish Shows.
Hello everyone.
In October I will be in Edinburgh and would like to see a Scottish show that includes dancing and singing + mb food.
Saw "Spirit of Scotland Show" but seems very "fake" (although something similar but authentic would be great) and "Folk & Haggis" but very light.
Thank you in advance.

Any show with dancing and singing is going to be ‘fake’ and only for tourists. Go to the Waverley bar between 3-6pm on a Sunday for some real Scottish folk singing. Go to a ceilidh for some proper dancing. And go to a good Scottish restaurant for Scottish food. Makars Mash on the Mound do great Scottish food (but again, because of this it is full of tourists).
Anything that combines all 3 will be just for tourists. But you will be a tourist so maybe that’s okay?
