Edinburgh Festival sites are set to return to the city centre this summer as plans are unveiled for performance spaces, bars, box offices and toilets - with one site expecting up to 10,000 visitors a day.
As part of the biggest festival season since before the pandemic, some temporary venues including George Square Gardens' iconic upside-down purple cow, Udderbelly, will be back after a three-year absence.
The pop-up spaces will play host to musicians, comedians, guest speakers and performers flocking to the capital for the Fringe, the world's biggest arts festival, which will comprise of over 3,000 separate shows throughout August. They will also be used for the Edinburgh Blues and Jazz Festival and Edinburgh Food Festival in July.
