Article Title: Hooray For The Fringe! Your Fringe lowdown...
Festival Name: Edinburgh Fringe Festival
Festival Country: Scotland
Festival Type(s): Fringe, Comedy, Performing Art
To anyone except the actor, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival is annual paradise. For five frantic weeks the elegant seaside city of Edinburgh resigns itself to theatrical hijack. From all corners of the globe dramatic and musical troupes descend on Scotland's capital to tempt, cajole, and dazzle the spectator into parting with their pounds: in exchange for laughter, tears, derision, and amusement.
Article Title: The Common Ridings of the Scottish Border
Festival Name: Common Ridings - Hawick
Festival Country: Scotland
Festival Type(s): Traditional, National, Party
For centuries the Scottish border towns of Hawick, Jedburgh, Lauder and Selkirk have been keeping a watchful eye on their southern neighbours, the ever-so-meddlesome English. In years past these Common Ridings of the Scottish border were horseback patrols to ensure those southerners knew where their boundary ended and the Scottish frontier began.

Festival Name: Isle of Iona Festival
Festival Country: Scotland
Festival Type(s): Local, Party
Visitin' yer unsestors r ye?' The driver asked as I gratefully climbed into his clapped out old van. I ignored his mistaken questioning. A mistake caused by my red hair, a mistake I was hearing all the time in Scotland. 'Are you going as far as Tobermory?' I asked hopefully, by way of a response. I was going to the 'capital' of The Isle of Mull, the third largest island in the Scottish Hebrides.
