Edinburgh Theatres And Cinemas

Edinburgh has an exceptionally high number of theatres for a city of its size.  The Traverse is Scotland’s leading theatre for new writing and the Royal Lyceum is home to one of the country’s most esteemed theatre companies.  The Festival Theatre, the King’s Theatre and the Edinburgh Playhouse are essential venues for major touring productions.

The wider city region also offers a range of art house cinemas, theatres and music venues to enthral and entertain.  For example, the Tolbooth in Stirling is acknowledged as one of Scotland’s best venues for folk, jazz and world music. Kirkcaldy’s Adam Smith Theatre and the Brunton Theatre in Musselburgh are also popular live music venues.
