It always amazes me how Edinburgh festival rolls round again. It is one of my favourite times of year. Held in August the weather is often sunny- yes unusual for Scotland I know! I grew up in Edinburgh so the city is very familiar yet unreal to me. I travelled over town to my secondary school, and also attended university there. I often hung about in Princes street or the high street. In those days there were hippy shops in Cockburn street up from the station and they used to smell of incense and were full of those flowery skirts and scarves and brown leathers brought over from India or some other exotic places. For the 3 weeks of the festival the city is taken over by tourists and performers.
