Edinburgh Military Tattoo Fireworks

After a day on the Royal Mile enjoying the Fringe Festival acts it was over to Calton Hill to take in the Military Tattoo firework display.

With some guidance on timings from a new friend while setting up, I was able to maximise my shots.

The display was very colourful and rewarding to watch - even though the night temperatures are beginning to drop.

Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2015

Well, pretty late this year but finally managed through to Edinburgh for the Fringe Festival.

It seemed a bit flat when I arrived but things soon picked up after noon.

As ever the crowds were treated to fun, entertainment, energy, and the friendliness of the participants.

A big thanks to everyone who took the time to pose - mostly with no words needed - and for those  that put some high octane energy in to their performances and made it a time to remember.

Also to those who I spoke with and made the day all the more enjoyable.

God willing I'll be back next year.

Stirling Castle

The weather being fairly poor a visit to Stirling Castle seemed a good choice.

I visited in 2012 with the promise to return - and here I am.

This is a wonderful attraction with plenty to see - and complimented with very helpful and informative staff.

Historic Scotland do a fantastic job with their properties and I'm always impressed with the staff.

Their membership is in my opinion extremely good value.

The castle was well worth the second visit and I'm sure I'll return again.

Edinburgh Fringe Festival

The Edinburgh Fringe has been on my wish list for a good few years but only managed to get through this year.

Kicking myself I left it so long.

A multitude of experiences in just a short walk, and a really good feel factor abounded throughout the day.

A big personal thanks to all the very kind and generous acts that made themselves available on the day to allow me to capture - I hope - a flavour of the events.
