Your Guide to the Edinburgh Festival
Why you should head to the world’s biggest arts festival in Scotland
Scotland’s capital is one classy city. Edinburgh boasts quaint cobbled streets, many hidden hide-outs, excellent shopping, eerie dungeons and a big boss of a castle that rivals even Hogwarts. No wonder it’s famous for putting on a heck of a festival every year. Even better than that, it lasts the whole month of August, and jam-packs in so many diverse acts that the festival programme is published as thick as the phone book. The Edinburgh International Festival is the world’s largest arts festival and it’s no surprise that it attracts acts and tourists from every continent, as well as the locals, in droves. This is a city which takes great pride in its culture, where the best of the best hope to make a name during the festivities.
So don your finest kilt if you have one, embrace (don’t slate) the sounds of bagpipes, and drink Tennents until you are fully wearing your beer goggles. It’s going be one heck of a month.
