Here, RYA Scotland will be running up to 500 on-the-water taster sessions in dinghies, yachts and powerboats. Attraction­s will include a daily programme of cooking demonstrat­ions by West College in the Scottish Food & Drink Pavilion, which will also showcase artisan Scottish food and drink producers in a street market setting.

The Scotland show regularly attracts 16,000 visitors from all corners of the sailing world. To book a helicopter ride visit http://po.st/helicopter.
