Christmas Markets you must visit in Scotland 2022

A Hidden Scotland Guide

Christmas Markets to get you in the festive spirit this winter.

As the festive season approaches, Christmas markets pop up across the country to bring a distinctly Alpine touch to our high streets. Whether you’re looking for a unique gift to give to a special someone or can’t wait for the warming tastes of mulled wine and sweet treats that can be found at every Christmas market, these are the best seasonal markets taking place across Scotland. We might not get a white Christmas, but we can certainly usher in festive celebrations with the local community here.
