Edinburgh will once again be a hive of activity this summer as concerts, events and the festival take over the city. From the festival to the return of one of Britain’s greatest ever bands, it is set to be another jam-packed summer.
And if you’d rather opt for something quieter, then we’ve got you covered. There are plenty of walks around the city and its outskirts.
So, here’s a look at what you can get up to in Edinburgh this summer.
