Please support us by giving this video a big 👍! It really helps us and is appreciated. I have just posted an Edinburgh Festival Tips video here ➡️ kzfaq.info/get/bejne/itybi9STm9GmYac.html which has planning tips for anyone thinking of visiting Edinburgh. Enjoy!

You did not, it seems, climb to the summit of Arthur's Seat. What you show is mere the Salisbury Crags. There's still a further couple of hundred feet to go to get to the stop of the hill. So why claim you "climbed Arthur's Seat"? No you didn't... It also seems you haven't grasped the significance of the word "Fringe". It is called that because it began life as a fringe group of mainly university shows from around the UK which decided to set up shop alongside the official Festival - The Edinburgh International Festival - in 1947, when the Festival first started. From its beginnings, in the late 1940s, early 1950s, the Fringe (originally much smaller than the Festival proper) has grown to become what it is today - the largest Arts festival in the world. But it is still the junior partner of the official Festival.

These guys are brilliant. The fact that it's all put together with an iphone really shows their natural skill for cinematography, editing and storytelling, or that other vloggers are wasting a LOT of dollar-bucks on unnecessary equipment (or probably both)

This year I paid an average of £7.60 including booking fee, mostly for comedy shows. Tends to be cheaper Mondays and Tuesdays than at the weekend. There's well over a thousand shows (mostly comedy) that you can get in for free if you're sufficiently ahead in the queue, though it is customary to leave at least a fiver in the bucket. Accommodation is a bit more pricey - very similar to London in August.

One play that EVERYBODY should watch this year is HART at Greenside (Infirmary Street). It's a short play about Alan L. Hart, a transgender doctor who made major breakthrough on tuberculosis. But the show is about SO MUCH more than that, it's a story that navigates brilliantly through subjects like love, betrayal and lgbtqia+ life in the roaring 20's in America. Do not miss it!!
