The Edinburgh festival is over. So no more chances to see the best of the world's culture until next year, right?

Wrong. Scotland has a few more festive experiences to offer before the year is out.

From music to film, and storytelling to highland games, here are six things you can do around Scotland if you can't shake your festival fever.

Where: Braemar, Aberdeenshire

When: September 3

The only Highland Games that is guaranteed to feature a Royal visit, the Braemar Gathering takes place nearby the Balmoral Estate.

Queen Victoria first attended the show in 1848, and now the reigning monarch is a regular sight.

Around 17,000 people are expected to swell the ranks of the small town to watch traditional games such as tug-of-war and tossing the caber.

For those interested in Gaelic culture, there is no better destination than the Mod.

Celebrating Gaelic linguistic and cultural heritage, it is the largest gathering of its sort in the world.

Children and adults compete in categories including Gaelic music and song, highland dancing, instrumental, drama, sport and literature.

You haven't experienced New Year until you've done Edinburgh Hogmanay.

The combination of crowds, music and street drinking make for one of the world's biggest parties.

Expect Shetland Vikings bearing firelit torches parading down Princes Street, a ceilidh on the cobbles of the Old Town, and international stars and fireworks from Princes Street Gardens.

A festival for storytelling is perhaps the most unique to feature on this list.

Started in 1989 and now in its 27th year, the ten-day event is a celebration of live storytelling and imagination.

The theme for this year is Dreams, and there are a series of story competitions and workshops, as well as tales told by some of the country's best storytelling talents.

This festival is the place to be to see the work of rising star filmmakers from Scotland and around the world.

It shows a staggering array of shorts. from the first film made in Somalia for 20 years to Oscar nominated shorts from Australia, the USA and Ireland.

Short films smuggled out of China and Iran have also been in the festival, and it has hosted visiting film-makers from Shanghai, Russia, Italy, Spain, Germany, Holland and all over the UK.

A boutique festival in a beautiful location, Loopallu has been going for over ten years.

It takes place in the picturesque town of Ullapool and previous bands have included Paolo Nutini, Mumford & Sons, Franz Ferdinand, and The Undertones.

The festival takes over the town as revellers enjoy bands and a few drinks in local pubs, and the area is perfect for those who fancy a bracing stroll (or hike) to clear out the previous nights's cobwebs.
