Edinburgh

Make no mistake, Edinburgh is a marvellous place. It’s a city that appears to have been woven out of imagination, made real by the industry that the Scots are justly famous for. It’s like nowhere else on Earth and nowhere elsse on Earth could be like this, the age of making cities like this a reality has gone, faded. Even if we still had the skill, we don’t have the vision or the drive. It’s a gothic, palladian fairytale and it’s just stunning. There were a thousand shows here for the festival but the star is the city itself.
