Linlithgow Scotch Hop

2024 Season – Summer Dances

We hope you will all be able to join us this summer in the unique open air setting of Linlithgow Palace, on one or more Wednesday evening from 10th July to 7th August 2024. Dancing starts at 7:30pm. Tickets are now available online below at £13 each, with discounts for pre-organised groups and season tickets. Numbers are limited to 125, and we expect to sell out, so please order as early as you can.

As with last year, remedial works mean that we are still not able to use the courtyard of Linlithgow Palace. So, weather permitting, we will dance in the Great Hall at the Palace, located on the first floor with access up spiral stone staircases, which may not be suitable for some.

In case of wet weather we will use the nearby Low Port Centre, which has recently re-opened.

As ever, we will have excellent live bands each evening, our fabulous caller Sheila McCutcheon and an enjoyable mix of ceilidh and country dances. Just come and enjoy, but if you’d like an idea of what the dances will be, see below. Juice and water will be available throughout the evening, also shortbread at the interval (sorry, no tea this year)

Linlithgow Palace is easily accessible by foot, bike, road, rail and bus – this Google map will help. Because of the restoration work in progress, parking at the Palace itself is very limited, but there is more nearby.
The Low Port Centre is a 5-minute walk from the Palace, or a short drive. Go east along the High Street, left at the roundabout. Then turn first left into the Low Port (the hall is on the left, limited parking on the right) or turn first right to park behind Tesco and walk back to the Centre.
