Site B, Glasgow Road, Ingliston, Newbridge, EH28 8TE

Summary

The Royal Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland (RHASS) has obtained planning consent (25-05234- ADV & 25-04775-ADV) ) for digital advertising screens on two highly visible sites on the Glasgow Road (A8), adjacent to the Royal Highland Centre, home of the Royal Highland Show and multiple major events including concerts, exhibitions, conferences and live sport. The venue attracts over one million visitors each year in addition to the 17 million visitors who accessed nearby Edinburgh Airport in 2025.
The billboard will be in landscape format and will face west, towards the eastbound A8 carriageway. The screen will be encased in anthracite grey aluminium and mounted on two posts positioned within the current showground site to the north of an existing hedge and security fencing.

Key Points

Location

The A8 is one of Edinburgh’s main arterial routes linking the city centre and by-pass to the motorway network. Edinburgh Airport is also accessed directly from the A8. Site B is the current location of three static non-digital advertising signs which will be replaced with a single 3-metre high by 6-metre wide D48 digital billboard.
