What’s On in Scotland in February
What’s on in February 2018 in Scotland?
Well well, we’ve said to goodbye to January, I can imagine many of you and myself included are glad to see the back of it. The month just seems to drag on and on, especially those last few days, it feels almost like eternity. An eternal January sounds awful , don’t you think? Anyway enough of my rambling on we can now say a big hello to our friend February. This month brings us some exciting events and of course holidays! So with that being said I thought I would share with you some information about what’s going on in Scotland this month.
To begin, we have the Scottish Caravan and Motorhome Show at the SECC in Glasgow from the 8-11th February. The is the ultimate place to begin your next or perhaps your first adventure.

In Aberdeen, from 8-11th February 2018, is the SPECTRA Festival of Light this has been a signature event in the Council’s event and cultural calendar since 2014. The vision for SPECTRA was to be a signature winter event for the region and beyond. The aim of the festival was for Aberdeen to be recognised as a contemporary city of design and technology with a strong cultural heritage. Beginning in February 2014 with an array of light installations, exhibitions and events in Aberdeen City Centre, it was experienced by 17,000 people and included school and community participation with a series of installations and projections by local, national and international artists. The festival was well praised and since then it has continued to see its levels of success grow. This year SPECTRA returns with the theme of ‘Play the Night’ – exploring innovation and creativity with young people and to also kick off the national Year of Young People. Furthermore, in Johnshaven, Aberdeenshire on the 10th February, there is the North East Mountain Bike Race Series. Races are open to riders of all ages from 6-16 and 16 upwards. The Go-MTB Racing for Grown Ups race is XC format using both the existing trails and single track. This a great event for all abilities, so don’t be shy, be brave and believe in yourself! Just make yourself you’ve booked your place before you go.
