Edinburgh Fringe Festival











I visited Edinburgh on two separate days when I was staying in Glasgow. It was soooo busy in Edinburgh, that accommodation would have been a premium. A one hour train trip was much less of a hassle, even though I had kids screaming both ways on both trips.
The first day I went was on a Saturday. I worked out what shows (mostly comedy) I wanted to see in the fairly limited time I had, knowing I wanted to get back to Glasgow before it was too late. I got to see only 2 shows that day & the 2nd show (Bad Things Happen in Trees) was simply magnificent - laughed most of the way through the show.
My second day was on the Monday & I was much more prepared having outlined the shows I wanted to see at which specific time. Only one of the shows (can't remember the name) was a stand out - hilarious!
The queue to get into Edinburgh Castle was at least 45 mins long, so waved that idea by. Edinburgh's a wonderful city - vibrant, a bit arty, & historically beautiful. Will definitely come back!
