We’ve just gotten back from a fantastic time at Tabletop Scotland 2025, hosted in the Royal Highland Centre in Ingliston. Before anything else we’d like to give a massive thank you to the organisers for their assistance in getting our stand set up, not to mention their checking in on us throughout the event. Just that introduction alone was enough to boost our want to come back again next year!
We’d also like to give a big thank you to everyone who came to speak to us during the event, both fellow exhibitors and attendees. Neither of us have been to Scotland many times (it being Chris’s first time in particular) and the reception we got there was incredibly friendly, making the long haul from Anglesey to Ingliston for the weekend completely worth it.
However, not content exhausting ourselves with just that event, we decided to stay another few days to explore the city of Edinburgh! Shipping ourselves over on the tram line we gave a whole day just exploring the Andy Goldsworthy exhibition at the Royal Scottish Academy before getting completely and utterly lost in the depths of the National Museum.
Unable to just give the Museum and Academy one of our days and still operating on fewer hours of sleep than we maybe should have, we returned to explore the rest of what we could before descending into the pitch black of the South Bridge Vaults on a ghost tour! (Perhaps some more inspiration for our upcoming delve back into horror - stay tuned for that!)
Still feeling that we had some energy left we decided to really give our last day everything and, having gotten up bright and early, set off to wander the Royal Mile from Blackford Hill up to St. Giles, stopping by at the Royal Observatory and then settling down for lunch just opposite Greyfriars. One more delve back into the National Museum and over into the Edinburgh Museum and we’d finally done enough to call it a day.
We might not’ve been able to do the entirety of Edinburgh in three days but that might not matter - as from the warm welcome we received at Tabletop Scotland I imagine we’ll be back there as soon as we can be.
