    I like to go along to the Pleasance Courtyard outdoor venue in the evening with my friends. We soak up the atmosphere  ;) and chat to people. It's a great vibe. Then, inevitably we end up going to see a random show and thoroughly enjoying it. Never a dull moment.

    @VisitScotlandJulie that's a great one - there's always a great atmosphere at the Pleasance Courtyard and plenty of shows to choose from too!

    I'm planning to go to the Meadows Festival this weekend!  I haven't managed to make it for a few years but the forecast looks good so I have high hopes  :D

    Don't overplan!  Just go wandering and see where you end up, some of the venues are worth the trip in themselves!

    Looks like a great opening to the Edinburgh International Festival. Best of all, it's free!

    Epic outdoor public art show at Edinburgh Castle bringing together animation, lighting, and music by Mogwai.
