There is plenty to see in Edinburgh right now for free. If you don’t mind the crowds and just take a leisurely walk around the venues then you will see many performers trying to entice you to their show or show off their talents on the cobbled streets.
This one is from George Square with the famous Udderbelly tent in the background. We saw magicians and circus performers while we sat people watching and drawing.
Also I took in a show at Greenside George Street and managed a quick sketch before the lights went out.
