Edinburgh.
So...I have always loved the Edinburgh Festival and went every year for a visit when I lived 'Up Over' so couldn't resist going back this year. To be honest it was one of the reasons I came at this time of year plus my brother was also supposed to be doing a show on the Fringe but sadly due to a venue mix up that had to be cancelled.
