Festivals Capital
I just looked out of my office window to witness a 38piece New Zealand Army Band performing the Haka followed by Gangnam Style outside the City Chambers (a taste of their quite brilliant performance at the Tattoo). This can mean only one thing: we are slap-bang in the middle of Festivals season. And what better time to live in Edinburgh? My Capital Coalition colleague, Councillor Steve Cardownie, recently reminded us of why we love Edinburgh in August. Come the end of the month, and having indulged in everything the city has to offer, you could be forgiven for seeking out a healthy antidote to the weeks of excess. Well, look no further than the citys fifth Festival of Sport, which kicks off in some style with Sport with the Stars on 24 August. Running until 8 September, the Festival offers a bumper fortnight of sport for everyone to get involved in. Its the perfect opportunity to try new sports, find out about the sports clubs in your area and all of the activities are FREE.
