• Marriott is very central & walking distance to venue. Glasgow has great restaurants . Try 5pm.com & trip advisor . (NT) -- Mum, 17:10:13 12/08/15 Tue
  • Thank you. So does that mean that we can stay at any hotel and there is no block that we are required to stay in? (NT) -- Mom, 03:04:37 12/09/15 Wed

• I'm not sure. I don't think it's been announced yet (NT) -- Mum, 10:54:22 12/09/15 Wed

• Welcome to Scotland! (more inside) -- ., 11:49:41 12/09/15 Wed
  • Thank you so very much. This is going to be a once in a life time experience for all of us! My husband booked at a Marriott, but he said it's about a mile away. Not sure if that is the one you are referring to (I don't relish walking one mile with all the gear on the day she dances. 😉). -- Mom, 13:04:23 12/09/15 Wed
    • We attended All Scots this past february for the first time, too. It is one of the nicest cities, IMO. we were slightly under a mile away but I strongly recommend hiring a taxi the morning she dances. Less hassle! You wikll find a ton of eateries from chains to small acfes and everything in between - Glasgow is very walkable and the people are super friendly. (NT) -- Have a great time!!, 21:42:51 12/21/15 Mon
      • Thank you so much! DD is very excited. Please forgive me asking this, but she and I were discussing the trip and I said we'd have to splurge on a shirt or something as a memory and she said she thought she'd get a patch. I said I wasn't sure if they gave out patches. She said they must because it's a National competition...lol. Anyone care to share light on our discussion? (NT) -- OP, 21:00:33 12/22/15 Tue

• It's about a 20-30 min walk, but only a £5 apron in a taxi. defo taxi day of dancing but walk rest of time! u might even c others u can share a cab with! (NT) -- place will be awash with curly wigs, 17:55:53 12/09/15 Wed
  • Thank you so much. The information is much appreciated! (NT) -- Mom, 13:55:14 12/10/15 Thu

• Sorry, but I don't think it is really a walking distance, you can't just pop back and forth, it's all very main busy roads, with lots of pedestrians also. (NT) -- If you don't the city, its not a very nice walk. Loads of hotels much closer. Try the Millenium or Carlton George for something 'fancy' but Travelodge, Premier Inn, right beside venue and are great value, 12:48:13 12/11/15 Fri

• Stayed in Premier Inn for All Scots last year - Great choice, 30 seconds from venue (NT) -- Dancer, 22:14:41 12/11/15 Fri

• I have another question and forgive me if it seems obvious, but do the gents and girls compete together or just on the same day? I was looking at the schedule and I saw that they are the same day (and it looks like together to me),but the syllabus has them listed separate. Again, I apologize if this seems a ridiculous question, but we've never done AS or any other OS comp so I'm completely clueless as to how things work OS! (NT) -- Thank you so much. OP, 13:15:40 12/15/15 Tue
  • It depends on the age group (NT) -- If it says mixed then it is boys and girls together, 13:37:59 12/15/15 Tue
    • It says Men's and Ladies (2 rounds) on the schedule. And on the syllabus it has them listed separate but that could be because the men don't dance the SJ. This would be Ladies U18 (NT) -- Thank you., 15:07:10 12/15/15 Tue
      • Usually just mean's that they will alternate rounds, boys will probably dance first round then girls first round, then the same for 2nd round and recall. (NT) -- Mum, 16:48:38 12/15/15 Tue
        • Thank you do much for clarifying! (NT) -- Mom, 17:43:50 12/17/15 Thu
          • look for hotels in theatreland or near central station (NT) -- express by holiday inn seconds from venue, 23:03:32 12/22/15 Tue
            • Thank you for your suggestion! (NT) -- OP, 22:15:54 12/29/15 Tue

• I have two more questions: Please forgive me asking this, but she and I were discussing the trip and I said we'd have to splurge on a shirt or something as a memory and she said she thought she'd get a patch. I said I wasn't sure if they gave out patches. She said they must because it's a National competition...lol. Anyone care to share light on our discussion? The other question I have is where do I find information about getting her a spray tan. (NT) -- Thank you once again. OP, 15:57:18 01/02/16 Sat
  • Patches aren't given out in UK. Usually the dancers get a certificate. I think they've got a souvenir pin or something before (NT) -- Shirts etc are always for sale, 13:37:25 01/06/16 Wed
    • My dancer has had a patch from All Scotland's every year since it moved to the Royal Concert Hall (NT) -- The sweatshirts are also always good value for money, 14:27:38 01/06/16 Wed
      • My dancer must have missed out then. She's never been given one. Unless you can buy them. (NT) -- Danced All Scots for years, 15:57:07 01/06/16 Wed
        • I've just gone to double check in case I was thinking of something else but she definitely has numerous all scots patches (NT) -- Hopefully they'll also get them this year, 19:10:59 01/06/16 Wed
  • As of right now they haven't got a spray tan vendor - but there are many spray tan salons in Glasgow so it's easy enough to find a spot! (NT) -- Have fun!, 18:47:56 01/07/16 Thu
  • Thank you! We are definitely going to get a shirt or sweatshirt or something. This is a once in a lifetime experience for all of us and we have to get something! If she gets a patch or certificate or something else, all the better!! (NT) -- OP, 21:04:42 01/07/16 Thu
    • I don't know if the vendor will be different this year but Last year the zip up sweatshirts were fab, one of my dd's favorites. (I think they were connected to Ciara Sexton?) (NT) -- Looking forward!, 14:35:08 01/08/16 Fri
      • If you look at instepfm.com, the various styles they will be showing for All Scots sweatshirts etc. are on there at the bottom of the creen. Nice styles and different from last year!m (NT) -- OC mom, 18:32:13 01/10/16 Sun

• We have always stayed at Mclays Guest House on Renfrew its a B&B with great breakfast and huge rooms (NT) -- US mom, 03:17:03 01/11/16 Mon
