The Destination

For 11 months of the year, Edinburgh is a relaxed, sedate city, revelling in the benefits of its capital status while enjoying the calm that comes with a smallish population. But come August, it's all change. The headlining Edinburgh Festival attracts around 1.8 million people doubling the population, the atmosphere becomes almost continental, and the grey stone façades burst into colour. It's the largest arts celebration in the world, drawing performers from Uppsala to Uluru and all points in between. It's a city defined by it's magnificent castle and surrounded by a truly magnificent countryside.
