42 record fairs coming to Scotland all music collectors should visit across Summer 2025

• Scottish music lovers - this one is for you.
• Looking for that coveted release but found out that international shipping costs more than the item itself?
• Why not investigate a number of record fairs across the region this summer before taking the plunge shopping online?

So, you're looking for that one item to complete your music collection's back catalog, but for some reason, you either can't find it or the dreaded postage costs are deterring you.

Thankfully, there's the option of heading to one of the many record fairs taking place throughout Scotland during the sunnier months, which may help alleviate those postage costs.

However, we cannot be held responsible if it inspires a brand new interest in collecting another artist; maybe a touch of Teenage Fanclub or that rare Belle and Sebastian bootleg that inspires you to discover the world of bootleg releases?

We've consulted the comprehensive list of events provided by Record Fairs UK to bring you 42 events taking place across Scotland, from Glasgow and Edinburgh to Elgin and Inverness, that might just scratch that collector 'itch' you might have ahead of the UK summer festival season.

Those of you who may want to set up shop at one of the many record fairs listed below can check out Record Fairs UK, which has contact details for the organizers in case you fancy offloading some of your collection.

So, where in Scotland can you visit for the great vinyl (or CD) hunt? Read on to find out where the closest record fairs are to you.
