Edinburgh Festivals

Fast and Furious 9 star Tyrese Gibson has uploaded a video on to his Instagram page where he's told told the single best thing about Scotland is Glasgow football giants Rangers.

Star of stage and screen Stephen Fry has told how he owes his career to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe as he praised the “extraordinary” nature of the event 40 years on from making his debut.

IT’S impossible, when you live and work in the Capital, not to see August as just another month in the city’s never-ending events calendar and to fully understand the power the brand ‘Edinburgh Fringe’ boasts.

Edinburgh Festival Fringe are in talks about creating new areas for street performers in the heart of major new developments in the city centre.

The leaking of confidential information is guaranteed to raise the hackles of politicians, and none more so than in the corridors of power within Edinburgh’s City Chambers.

So, that’s it for another year, the summer festival season has ended with a bang as the Scottish Chamber Orchestra brought the curtain down in spectacular fashion, entertaining huge crowds with their concert from the Ross Theatre in Princes Street Gardens, accompanied by a fantastic fireworks extravaganza from Edinburgh Castle.

Crowds of spectators gathered across Edinburgh, the Lothians and Fife to watch Monday night's fireworks extravaganza at Edinburgh Castle.

Dazzling displays of fireworks will signal the end of the Edinburgh International Festival tonight, all accompanied by the music of the Scottish Chamber Orchestra.
