 * To answer your question, we would first need you to define “best”. Me… I prefer “tasteful understatement”, but I do understand that others take a “It’s not enough until you can see it from space” attitude when it comes to decorations. Blueboar (talk) 16:20, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Try Googling "best Christmas lights in Scotland". I'm not sure that anybody here will do any better. Alansplodge (talk) 18:54, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
 * best, might mean most popular, or most visited..exactly what you would expect to find on Wikipedia..1958, Scotland's forgotten Christmas lights.. Gfigs (talk) 20:15, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
 * suppose it might be little difficult to see them..i think it's snowing?. Gfigs (talk) 20:47, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
 * As a confirmed humbug, the best Christmas lights are the ones that are turned off. MinorProphet (talk) 22:15, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Probably the ones switched on by Jean-Claude Van Damme: . Martinevans123 (talk) 23:26, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
 * actually, they were saying : "you should log off the Wikis, due to the porn"..it's reason why Larry Sanger (reporting) left Wikipedia.. Gfigs (talk) 04:55, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
 * wonder what he is doing this Christmas?.. Gfigs (talk) 06:26, 13 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh always has a spectacular display. See a round-up of various city displays in Scotland here.
 * The Duchess of Cornwall at least once switched on a city’s Christmas light display, but that wasn’t in Scotland.
 * Just searching the BBC website, the trend seems to be to report on light displays when they are raising funds for charity, which I completely agree deserves the label “best.”.
 * Am also very fond of Newburgh’s lights, which are designed by children :), . 70.67.193.176 (talk) 16:57, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
