Though Edinburgh Fringe will be a little more understated this year, that won’t stop the city coming alive with creativity.
And while you’re soaking up the atmosphere, why not try a bite to eat at one of these pop-ups which will be in George Square Gardens this summer?
Whether you’re hungry for pizza, Asian dumplings, kebabs, or a refreshing cone of gelato, there’s something for every foodie to get their teeth into.
