Helensburgh Winter Festival is OFFICIALLY one of the most Instagram-worthy Christmas events in Scotland!
We are officially one of Scotland’s most ‘Instagrammable’ Christmas events – NEW DATA from Protectivity Event Insurance has revealed the most Instagram-worthy Christmas events in Scotland, with Helensburgh Winter Festival taking 9th spot in the TOP 10!
The Winter Festival was ranked ninth on the list, coming in one place ahead of the Glasgow Christmas Lights Switch-on! Edinburgh Christmas Market tops the list as the most ‘Instagrammable’ event, with an impressive 56,218 hashtags.
We are absolutely delighted to take the 9th spot among the much larger, financed, commercial events such as the Glasgow Christmas Market and the Irn-Bru Carnival. It comes as a huge boost this year, being announced just two days before the festival is due to take place.
Our Festival Committee Chair, Gail Broadhurst, was delighted to hear the event had ranked so highly. She said: “Wow! That is just incredible news”.
Protectivity analysed and ranked over 84,000 Instagram posts featuring location-specific hashtags for 42 Scottish Christmas events to create their list of Scotland’s top Christmas spots. A spokesperson for the organisation said: “This scenic coastal town is affectionately known as ‘The Christmas Town’ by locals, and for good reason. “Despite only running for one weekend, this event packs in a Santa Dash, Live Stage Entertainment, Santa’s Grotto, Fairground Rides, and a Christmas Market with around 100 stalls.”
