CAPTURE NEW HORIZONS

The Edinburgh Festival, the world's greatest arts show, which lasts from the 7th to 31st August.  Living in Dunbar we are lucky enough to be just 30-miles from the centre of Edinburgh and this year we have decided that we are going to take in a few shows. Yesterday we spent the afternoon walking the Royal Mile and Grassmarket picking up leaflets and watching some of the street entertainers.  We also took in a comedy show before heading home. The amount of shows is bewildering and you could get overwhelmed by the sheer number of acts that are available to see across hundreds of venues in the city.  The Edinburgh Fringe have a brilliant APP available for IoS and Android. I would recommend downloading this if you are attending the Festival, it certainly helps sort out what is available and where everything is located. You also have to be careful with your money, it can be expensive.  Even the free shows expect a donation, which is only fair if the act ...

One of the reasons for our move from Grantham to Dunbar was to be near the coast but another draw was Dunbar's location close to Scotland's capital city Edinburgh.  August is the month that Edinburgh becomes home to the Fringe Festival, one of the world's biggest music, theatre, comedy and arts festivals.   Part of the Royal Mile near St Giles Cathedral is closed off and becomes the hub of the Fringe where you can find out what is going on and where and also be entertained by street artists.  We walked up and down collecting leaflets and talking to some of the people to determine what we will want to go and see during the next few weeks and here are some of the images from our first afternoon in Edinburgh.
