Fringe 2014

Visit the Ramblers Scotland site to download the maps or pick up pick up leaflets from the following libraries which features as start / finish points:
Currie, Granton, South Queensferry, Wester Hailes, Blackhall,, Leith, Portobello, Central, Craigmillar and Morningside.
And if you’re doing one of the Wester Hailes Library routes you can borrow a pedometer and starter pack, so you can see how far you walk in a day!
Make sure and ask too about the guided walks that the library are running throughout August – and check our progress chart to see which member of staff does the most steps between now and the end of the Commonwealth Games!

Today at the Edinburgh Jazz and Blues Festival there is only one act to see: Van Morrison.
There appear to be tickets still available here. The Edinburgh Reporter was at a Van the Man concert once when he walked off after five minutes decrying the quality of the sound system. We hope the system at the Festival Theatre is to his liking!
This is our favourite track, what’s yours?
