It might be nice to have Edinburgh in the summer just for people who like Edinburgh.

Ikwym

I meant as a one off.

My daughter’s ex flat mate lives in Edinburgh. His fiancé is a comedian living in London. The festival was where they met and a big earner for the fiancé. Lots of people in Edinburgh rent out rooms and make enough money to last them for months. They reckoned on it being a billion pound hit for the wider community on tv last night.

I remember last year complaining about how they shut off parts of the City and made them ticket only.

We were there four years ago for the good ladies 70th birthday, went up by train stayed in the Premier Inn.
Marvellous memorable weekend. Having a blue badge the taxi drove us in convoy straight into the arena and dropped us off next to our seats at the front.
Marvellous city must have impressed the granddaughter as she is looking at Edinburgh or St Andrews for uni.
