The Royal Highland Centre in Edinburgh will explode with colour and scent this weekend for Gardening Scotland (June 2-4). Browse the plants, tools, equipment and garden furniture at your leisure, and be inspired by the beautiful displays.

If you’re in Glasgow this weekend, don’t miss the annual Vinicombe Street Party to kick of the West End Festival on June 4. With al fresco bars, street food, performers and live music, there’s a carnival atmosphere in Hillhead.

Fyne Fest

West Fest

Dundee’s got a festival on this weekend, too, with the West Fest’s Big Sunday at Magdalen Green from 1 pm on Sunday, June 4. Live music, arts & crafts, food stalls and hopefully some sunshine!
