    FESTIVALS OF EDINBURGH:

    Edinburgh in the summer becomes "festival city" when a large number of major arts festivals are hosted in the city. These are:

  • The Edinburgh Jazz & Blues Festival

  • The Edinburgh Military Tattoo

  • The T on the Fringe Festival - A music festival.

  • The Edinburgh Fringe Festival - The largest arts festival in the world.

  • The Edinburgh International Book Festival

  • The Edinburgh International Festival

  • The Edinburgh International Film Festival

  • The Edinburgh International Television Festival

  • The Edinburgh Mela

    An important thing to decide when planning a trip is whether you want to go at festival time, from early August to mid-September. Hotels are noticeably more expensive then, and you need to book well (at least six months) in advance. There is a huge range of performing artists in the Festival.

    Edinburgh in the winter Festive Season is also huge: whole sections of central Edinburgh are roped off and accessible only by ticket for the New Years' Celebrations known as Hogmanay.

    In the spring there is the Children's International Theatre Festival and the Edinburgh International Science Festival.

    Unfortunately with Edinburgh you cannot rely on the weather. Although there can be days of sunshine and calm air much of the time you should expect rain. Thankfully Edinburgh has a lot of attractions that are indoors and will not be spoilt by the weather.


  • MUSEUMS & GALLERIES:

  • Museum of Scotland and Royal Museum, Chambers Street. The museum mixes innovative modern architecture with the best of Scotland's heritage. Exhibits include Scottish pottery and weapons from the Roman era and the Renaissance. Opening hours are 10am - 5pm Monday to Saturday with extended opening to 8pm on Tuesdays; and 12pm - 5pm Sundays. Admission is free.

  • the National Gallery of Scotland holds much of Scotlands fine artwork and carries exhibitions that change seasonally. The new Western Link was opened in 2004 with an entrance from Prices Street Gardens. It joins The National Gallery with the neighbouring Scottish Academy gallery and gives Scotland it's first world class art space. The Mound, Edinburgh, EH2 2EL, tel. +44 (0)131 624 6200

  • the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art contains a fine selection of modern art from Scotland and other countries. Belford Road, off the northwestern fringe of New Town.


  • WHAT TO DO IN EDINBURGH:

  • Climb up to Arthur's Seat an extinct volcano. Wonderful view.

  • Climb Calton Hill in the morning or evening hours to experience a great sunrise/sunset over Edinburgh.

  • Walk along the Water of Leith, a small stream that meanders through Edinburgh, providing a peaceful haven from the busy city.

  • If you like country dancing, go to a ceilidh at the Caledonian brewery. Tickets £3-£6.

  • Walk around Holyrood Park which is just East of Old Town. Created by King James the VI in the 16th century, it is like a Scottish landscape in miniature, containing Arthur's Seat, three lochs, and the stunning Salisbury Crags.

  • Walk through Princes Street Gardens, a small, beautiful park that lies in the small valley between Castle Hill and Princes Street.

  • Walk down the Royal Mile from Edinburgh Castle to the Palace of Holyroodhouse. The Royal Mile is the backbone of the sixteenth century Old Town and most of the buildings date from this period.

  • Edinburgh has an excellent theatre and concert life. Europe's largest theatre, the 3000-seat Edinburgh Playhouse (top of Leith Walk) hosts major West End shows. The Festival Theatre frequently hosts opera and ballet, and the Usher Hall (Lothian Road) has weekly orchestral concerts all year round with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. The Queen's Hall (South Clark Street) is home to the Scottish Chamber Orchestra.

  • Follow a ghost walk around the back street surrounding The Royal Mile and learn about the sinister goings on of Edinburgh's past.
