Top 5 Performing Arts in Scotland

Tay Square, Dundee DD1 1PB, United Kingdom

“We were lucky enough to be in the audience for the first performance of a Christmas Carol. This was the first time myself and my partner visited the Rep and we were blown away with the quality of the show, the friendliness of the staff and the positive atmosphere. We will definitely be back. Thanks to all who work hard to make such outstanding entertainment a reality 👏”

Carrick St, Ayr KA7 1NU, United Kingdom

“Have been coming to the Gaiety for years & every time I come to see a show, I seem to see a bit of architecture, etc, that I'd not noticed before. Inside the building is beautiful with three levels to view a show from. You have the stalls, the circle & what we all called 'the gods' as it seems so high up. There are also two boxes to watch a show, too. There have been some great shows here & thankfully, there still are great shows coming throughout the year. The prices are very good & the staff, who are mainly volunteers, are very courteous, happy & knowledgeable. I've just seen the pantomime with my granddaughter & had a truly brilliant time. The only issue I have, which is nothing at all to do with the theatre, is the car park beside it as the machines are either not working or you have to get a ticket using a website whilst in the car park & you only get 3 hours which at times have made it a close thing to get back to the car before the time runs out. It's a private company who own it & as far as I'm aware are extremely strict on enforcing times etc.”

One Edinburgh Quay, 1 Fountainbridge, Edinburgh EH3 9QB, United Kingdom

“The best experience ever, me and my boyfriend went together as a present for him for the national boyfriend day and it was best, we have never been to any escape rooms before, this was our first time and the game master Cameron was really really helpful, he was so patient with us and also gave some extra time as there was no one after us to make us feel so much better and made our experience as a cherry on the top! Unfortunately we couldn’t escape the Nosferatu room but it was so fun!! We will definitely be back to do more….”

Blairlinn Rd, Luggiebank, Glasgow G67 4AA, United Kingdom

“This place is a must-see. I have never seen so many different birds in one place. The birds are very well cared for by the staff. The cages were all very clean. The staff are very knowledgeable about the birds and you could tell they love each and every bird. And, the birds seemed to feel very comfortable with each handler. We will return, and we highly recommend that if you are in the area, stop by. It is well worth the visit. Also, they have a lovely Cabin Cafe. Good food and welcoming owners. Very cozy and very clean.”

The Tattoo Office, 1-3 Cockburn St, Edinburgh EH1 1QB, United Kingdom

“Don't miss this. It is the best! Come rain or shine they perform and you need to be there. We love this. It sprinkled a little, but we were prepared with our hats and coats. The precision is amazing. The music is fantastic and the atmosphere and backdrop of Edinburgh Castle with the fireworks. Wow! is superb!”

54 George St, Edinburgh EH2 2LR, United Kingdom

“Attended an event at the Assembly rooms for my RCPCH convocation ceremony and had a splendid experience. The venue was wonderfully laid out, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The attention to detail in the setup enhanced the overall enjoyment of the event. Highly recommend for any special occasion.”

14-16 Grassmarket, Edinburgh EH1 2JU, United Kingdom

“My intro to dance base was through the bollywood classes taught by my amazing teacher Rajani Ravikumar. It’s always fab to go in the dance class with whatever mood I am on and I just return happy forgetting what was going on with me. It’s helped me to be more happy, more positive. As well as a shout out to the amazing members of the bollywood crew who are all now friends. P.S. there is a clause that you’ll need to think of a cool and hopefully bizarre answer to an ice breaker question, be prepared!”

Basement Unit 1 Basement, inside of Merchant Square, Glasgow G1 1LE, United Kingdom

“We had a blast trying to escape their Star Crew room!! Our game masters were Sean and Richard. They made us feel welcome and explained the rules in a clear manner. We were able to escape the room and enjoyed the way the tasks progressed. The tasks were challenging initially but after a bit of thinking we figured them all out. We would definitely come back and try one of their other rooms!”

Rouken Glen Rd, Giffnock, Glasgow G46 6UG, United Kingdom

“Excellent performance. Those involved are a credit to their craft. Attended with a local school as a chaperone, and the staff and actors were tremendous. The panto itself had all the classics bits you'd expect, "he's behind you," double-entendre's galore, and generally just a great family day out. It really helps you get in the Christmas spirit.”

Ltd, The Station, Caledonian Railway, Park Rd, Brechin DD9 7AF, United Kingdom

“Absolutely incredible experience. The Polar Express is hands down one of the very best seasonal, festive experiences we've ever had. From the golden ticket and the fabulous platform decoration to the wonderful, friendly and highly entertaining cast and delicious hot chocolate it was simply magical and fantastic value for money. Highly, highly recommended.”

“Overall Excellent, neat and clean toilets, good customer service, 3hrs free parking space, armlength shopping mall, can see excellent sea view, ship wonderful.”

10 Cathedral St, Dunkeld PH8 0AW, United Kingdom

“A stunning Cathedral on the banks of Loch Tay. Part of the cathedral is inaccessible due to ongoing maintenance work but the area you can visit is still used and is beautiful. If you are in Dunkeld, it is well worth the visit and you can listen to an audio tour too.”

Bridge St, Galashiels TD1 1SP, United Kingdom

“Fantastic venue and great staff. We’ve seen quite a few music gigs here this year, and love it. It's a fantastic place to see bands play. Keep up the fantastic work!”

427 Sauchiehall St, Glasgow G2 3LG, United Kingdom

“I love a grungy pub but I have never been to a dirtier pub in my lifetime. It’s obviously been a very long time since the toilets were cleaned properly, skirting was filthy and hand drier/hot taps did not work. The young bar staff spent more time talking to each other or on their laptops to serve behind the bar! They were rude and we felt like an inconvenience! Will definitely not be returning and would advise you same.”

53 Kilpatrick Dr, Erskine PA8 7AF, United Kingdom

“My grand kids love it , you can see the kids and interact too for those grandparents that like to join in , story telling and extra things going on , I can honestly say value for money. Staff are so friendly and can't do enough for you , its clean and l look forward to spending time there .”

Brewery Ln, Dunbar EH42 1PE, United Kingdom

“Belhaven Brewery, located in Dunbar, East Lothian, is a true gem that every beer enthusiast should experience. With its rich history and excellent guided tours, it offers an unforgettable journey through the world of brewing. The brewery's history is nothing short of remarkable. Established in 1719, Belhaven is one of Scotland's oldest working breweries, and its legacy is evident in the quality of its beers. With almost 300 years of expertise in crafting exceptional brews, Belhaven has become synonymous with traditional Scottish ales and stands as a proud ambassador for the country's brewing culture. I had the pleasure of experiencing the guided tour of Belhaven Brewery, led by the knowledgeable and passionate Chris. He greeted us with a warm smile and set the tone for an engaging and informative visit. Chris's enthusiasm for brewing was contagious, and it was evident that he took great pride in sharing the brewery's story. During the tour, Chris took us through the different stages of the brewing process, from the malt room to the fermentation vessels. He explained the importance of using the finest ingredients, such as locally sourced barley and water from the brewery's own well. His attention to detail and ability to explain complex brewing techniques in a simple yet captivating manner made the experience even more enjoyable. One highlight of the tour was the opportunity to sample some of Belhaven's iconic beers. Albeit, I was driving and had to sample the beers when I got home. Chris guided us through a tasting session, offering interesting insights into the unique characteristics of each brew. From the smooth and rich Scottish Ale to the refreshing and crisp Belhaven Twisted Thistle IPA, every sip was a testament to the brewery's craftsmanship. It was a delightful sensory experience that further deepened my appreciation for Belhaven's dedication to producing outstanding beer. Moreover, the visit to Belhaven Brewery allowed us to immerse ourselves in its charming surroundings. Nestled in the picturesque coastal town of Dunbar, the brewery exuded a sense of history and tradition. The Victorian buildings and stunning views of the coastline added an enchanting backdrop to the tour, making it an unforgettable experience. In conclusion, Belhaven Brewery is a treasure trove for beer enthusiasts, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. From its storied history to the expertly guided tour provided by Chris, every aspect of the visit was infused with passion and a genuine love for the craft of brewing. If you find yourself in Dunbar, East Lothian, a visit to Belhaven Brewery is an absolute must.”

46 Beansburn, Kilmarnock KA3 1RL, United Kingdom

“Was here for a Halloween themed birthday party and my daughter loved it. The laser tag on the soft play went down a storm. The food was decent as well with pizza and chips. Not the biggest soft play there is but has all the good bits with big slides and climbing areas. I don’t live locally but anyone who does should try it out.”

Burns Statue Square, Strathclyde, Ayr KA7 1UP, United Kingdom

“This used to be a lovely cinema. It isn't now. Just another poor facility in Ayr. I feel really sorry for the staff because I am sure they try but you can only do so much without the top assisting.”
