Edinburgh’s Panto Season.
For many in Edinburgh the Christmas holiday would not be the same without a traditional visit to one of Edinburgh’s famous Pantomimes. In Edinburgh this year we have two great pantomimes to choose from, and if you are visiting Edinburgh then you too have a lucky choice to make. At The King’s Theatre at Bruntsfield [...]

14. December 2011
Edinburgh’s Hogmany celebrations are famous the world over, as Princes Street and Princes Street Gardens transforms into a sea of revelers dancing and singing their way into the New Year.

Last night saw the beginning of Capital’s Christmas with the turning on of the lights in Princes Street Gardens and the Tree on the mound.

3. November 2011
Fireworks night is without a doubt my most favourite night of the year. I love fireworks! They have always held a fascination for me and as a small child watching the night sky explode with colours and noise was so exciting! At school we learnt the story of Guy Fawkes and his failed plot to [...]

22. September 2011
Billy Bones has appeared in many places throughout history but he has always remained a pirate. You’ll find him at the beginning of treasure island and in a line from The Libertines song ‘Time for Heroes’. It is this latter part I am concerned with as I find Billy Bones in band form supporting ex [...]

3. September 2011
It’s the end of another Edinburgh Fringe festival. The tourists have caught their trains and planes back home, the fringe show posters are steadily coming down and, in Bristo Square, the Udderbelly is deflating.
