just bought tickets,anyone been,I heard its wonderful,it's not until august though.

It's excellent slinks. It's many years since I went, but I always watch it on BBC ALBA.

Take a poncho, plenty of tissues and go to the loo whether you need it or not before taking your seat! Also, check and double check the dates on your tickets we discovered at 2pm, here in Norfolk, that our tickets were not for next Friday but for the current day! Enjoy, it's fabulous and the seating been improved, less danger of DVT, never been so glad to stand for the National Anthem as we were in the old seats.

Was there last year, a great show, need no rain though!

[almarone]

Need a hotel well outside, recommend somewhere near the Gyle centre because festival is on too and prices extortinate, Ibis I think we stayed for £80 approx

[murraymints]

used to be dragged to it every year..not my idea of fun..but others seem to enjoy it..dress warm and waterproof...

[almarone]

Get the tram in and a night bus back, driver will drop you next to hotel if you ask

[murraymints]

there are lots of premier inn type hotels on the city limits that are inexpensive..if you want me to check for you kate..mail me...

Saw it years ago really excellent. Would love to go again.

If you are driving, it's worth looking on the other side of the bridge for a hotel, as has been said prices are extortionate, even a long way out of Edinburgh. You can then drive to somewhere like Ocean Terminal, park for free and take the bus into the city, the night buses run late and frequently.

[anneasquith]

I don't think Kate stays too far from Edinburgh.

[slinky.kate]

we will just drive home,about an hours drive depending on traffic,i will have my scooter with me.they are also issuing me with a vehicle pass.

[maggiebee]

Haven't been for many years, but an excellent night's entertainment. Take a cover for your knees and a cushion to sit on though.

[slinky.kate]
