From August 5, thousand of people have been descending onto Scottish soil and making their way to the capital.
This is set to continue for the next week with more eager tourists and locals eager to catch their favourite act at this years Fringe Festival. People have been delighted with the shows so far with thousand of videos being shared online with what being were seeing, doing and the places they were eating at in and around the capital.
However in much disappointment to those at the event, organisers of the Edinburgh International Festival have confirmed the traditional firework display to mark the end of the celebrations will not be going ahead this year. The BBC reported that the festival's reasoning for the decision was still down to the pandemic, with those in charge stating that 'planning times' were impacted leading up to the event.
