Edinburgh Bank Holiday 2009: Festival Kicks Off

1-3 August 2009

Go on, be ruthless: grab the buy one get one free deals at the Fringe! Let the festival season take you over and see if you can make the painted statues on the Royal Mile blink. Well it’s one way to kill time waiting for your friends in the ticket queue...Take things really easy and book into ScottishApartment.com’s Edinburgh apartments, maybe on the Royal Mile itself, Quartermile, Grassmarket or a little away from the hustle and bustle at Newhaven Harbour.

Practice your skills as a reviewer – hang out on the Royal Mile and see if you can come up with any recommendations for shows worth checking out. Shows range from ranting comedians with a message for you to Shakespeare for Breakfast (no English degree required, honest).

Culture vultures will find plenty to feed on. The galleries, museums and of course Edinburgh Castle will be in full swing. Everything from Scottish Impressionism to Modernist photographic art to truly boutique culture ‘hits’.
