Daniel Lawrence set up the unusual gathering by creating an online event page and rather surprisingly around 25 locals turned up carrying sets of steps at the city’s The Meadows.
Daniel, a Philosophy and Politics student at Edinburgh University, was delighted with Saturday afternoon’s turnout and is now planning on organising more ladder-inspired events.

When asked how he came up with the stunt the 21-year-old said: “It's really quite simple - the idea just came to me one day because lots of the flats in the Marchmont area have ladders.
“So I thought it would be funny if people brought their ladders to the Meadows all at the same time.
“I made a Facebook event and invited people to it and I am delighted that a good few people turned up.
“I would just like to thank for everyone who came along to LadderFest 2022. Look out for future happenings.”
