THE Edinburgh Christmas Market has been named one of the best to visit in Europe in a new ranking.
The research, which was conducted by the popular fashion brand FatFace, analysed a number of metrics, including the likelihood of snow between November and December as well as the number of visitors expected to create a “Festivity Score”.
Christmas markets across the continent were included with those in Vilnius, Oslo and Innsbruck making the cut.

The Scottish market was the only one in the UK to be featured in the FatFace list, receiving an overall Festivity Score of 73/100.
Despite this, the probability of snow over November and December was the lowest here with only an 11% chance of a white Christmas.
However, the market was able to improve its score thanks to the number of visitors it attracts each year and the number of related hashtags being posted to Instagram.
