Festival is the best time to visit Edinburgh!
Busy, yes, but not so bad that anyone has ever been killed in a stampede

There is an interesting exhibition on Islam at the Central Mosque, if you want to sort the facts from the myths:

There is also a kitchen adjacent to the mosque which provides good food at very reasonable prices.

I'm going now, Someone is showing me the Ocean Terminal which is supposed to be cool and then not sure what else I'm doing. What time are the fireworks does anyone know?

The big firework concert to end the festival is at 9pm on Sunday 3rd September.
There are also fireworks at midnight each Saturday night at the end of the Tattoo.
This Sunday (13th) is Fringe Sunday in The Meadows, with hundreds of free-to-view performances (although they pass the hat round at the end, so payment is a matter of conscience ) - worth seeing if you see nothing else!

Thanks for that. Unfortunatly I had to go before the displays had started so wasn't able to see them. It was pretty busy around the place, and the tourist shops must be raking in so much cash at the moment!

I was at the festival on saturday and just hung out, I forgot how busy the place was when the festival was in full swing! Went to the film festival thing at the bottom of the Mound where they had the free open-air cinemam and were showing Diamonds are Forever

Indian Summer trumps fireworks...I can wait until November

Fireworks are good any time of the year

Even at 3 in the morning

The less the rest of us know about that, the better.

Just been watching a programme about the new party splitting off from the Scottish Socialist Party, 'Solidarity'.
There seems to be some critical flaw in socialist parties - whenever they reach any significant level of popular support, they divide like amoebas.
On the positive side, at least this division has been over more interesting topics than the right of nations to self-determination, or the theory of surplus value.

What do people think of these parties?
Would you buy a used car from Colin Fox?
Or accept Tommy Sheridan's invitation to see his collection of proletarian art?
