It is a place for great sport, vibrant music, astonishing theatre and festivals, art, food and whisky. The city delivers a rich melting pot of culture and entertainment by combining a rich vein of history, with more contemporary and modern influences...

In the late 1940s, the fledgling Edinburgh Fringe Festival sprang up, closely followed by the installation of the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo... and a Hogmanay celebration that got bigger every year.
