All the main parties, apart from the Tories, held manifesto launches in Scotland this week - and all chose the Capital for their set-piece events.
The Lib Dems were at Craigie’s Farm, near South Queensferry, Labour at Murrayfield, the SNP at Edinburgh Park and the Greens at Summerhall.
There were also more key TV appearances, most prominently the BBC’s Question Time leaders special when the Tory, Labour, SNP and Lib Dem leaders all took part but individually rather than together.
But the politicians had serious competition for the attention of the public, who may have been more interested in the Euros which got under way in Germany and will still be going when the election is over.
Here is a round-up of the week’s election campaign highlights - in 10 pictures.
