Edinburgh during Fringe Festival

weather unacceptable, the festival is meant to be real good though

Edinburgh is a very friendly place though as far as i have seen

Edinburgh is crap.

Glasgow > Edinburgh.

I'm from Glasgow, but I live in Edinburgh. Very different places imo. :P

Usually a pretty good vibe during the festival. Weather is never predictable. Can be awesome or utter shit.

I'd say it's a friendly place, yeah. Much more chance of running into trouble in Glasgow tbh.

Depends what you want from your trip! Edinburgh is beautiful but although the capital, is not the real social heart of Scotland. Glasgow is that. If you're there for a long time check out going to Glasgow too, it's close on the train (1hr or so?)

Edinburgh is good to see and has an awful amount to visit and appreciate. Personally I hate going for the tourist trips around cities, because they only show you the pretty bits of it. Instead, heading around on your own and walking the majority of the way is definitely my preferred method to try and learn somewhere and try and understand what it is all about.

Check out the grass market area, that was cool. Depends what you're into, though. Et player Demented was nice enough to meet up with my and my gf and take us to a club and give us insight (THE HIVE OFC!), maybe ask him to meet up with you for a drink or something? He's a really great guy!

I'll be spending a fair bit of time in Scotland next year I think, as my girlfriend will be studying in St Andrews. I think Fringe falls September though, and that's my freshers time.
