I spent a week in Scotland that coincided with the Edinburgh Festival and the Festival Fringe. For those who don't know it, yes, Edinburgh has a Festival in August......I'd tell you how many festivals, but it keeps changing and the dates change too, so have a look at this site for up to date information for 2011 and very soon I'm sure for 2012.

This was my first impression of the High Street shennigans on Monday 15 August. David Hume seems to approve from on high!
This young Acapello group seen showcasing their songs on the High Street stage were really good. This was Tuesday afternoon, I can tell because it's sunny!
The Fringe isn't complete without it's street-performers. Their mix of witty repartee and amazing feats of strength or agility draws crowds, especially when the sun comes out.
The backdrop is the Signet Library in Parliament Square. This year the Signet Library is masquerading as the Pommery Champagne Bar. I popped in for a look, but I didn't stay for a glass of champagne because they wouldn't let me have a comfy seat; they were all reserved! Still maybe you'd like to go if you're in town...........
