The best thing about the Edinburgh festival...

...is simply watching the people on the high street. Not the ones performing, but the ones who are dressed in all sorts of ridiculous clothes, or silly T-shirts advertising shows, just milling about or walking with a purpose towards wherever the show they are in is happening.

I haven't made it to any shows at any of the festivals this year, but I do pass the high street every day, so get to soak up a little of the atmosphere.
