Edinburgh Ceilidh Club

South Side Fodor's Choice

One of Edinburgh's most popular ceilidhs, this traditional Scottish music and dance night is held every Tuesday at Summerhall. It's ideal for beginners, as a caller teaches the dance steps before the live band begins each song. The club also holds a monthly Friday night event at Assembly Roxy near South Bridge.
