...We are not wholly bad or good Who live our lives under Milk Wood, And Thou, I know, wilt be the first To see our best side, not our worst.
Dylan Thomas ([Program]: Under Milk Wood. Edinburgh International Festival)
He was the kind of man who put the “ass” in passion.
Noel Chidwick (Shoreline of Infinity, Issue 8½: Edinburgh International Book Festival Special Edition)
Edinburgh For those who like walking, Edinburgh reigns supreme. The Royal Mile runs through the centre of the tourist area connecting Edinburgh Castle with Holyrood Palace. It’s a little over a mile and, in addition to passing old Edinburgh historic sites, it is lined with independent shops, cafes and pubs along the way. For this is Edinburgh’s Old Town, all cobbled streets beneath the lofty castle. The New Town is less than ten minutes walk away and it’s far from new. Instead New Town is Georgian, built by the wealthy residents in the 18th century. Its wide streets and perfect proportions create a visual joy for walking. It’s tough to name Edinburgh’s main sites, but here goes: the castle, continuously occupied for more than 1000 years; Holyrood Palace, the Queen’s official residence in Scotland; Mary King’s Close, a preserved 18th century tenement on the Royal Mile and; the Grassmarket, a network of cobbled lanes with independent shops and cafes. I could go on. Edinburgh is particularly busy during the festival that takes place from August to early September. It began as a military tattoo, developed into a fairly high brow arts festival and has expanded to host off‐stage events from the clever to the bizarre. Edinburgh also hosts a massive Hogmanay, or New Year, celebration with music and dancing in the streets all through the night and often into the next day. The city is at its busiest during the August festival and again at New Year. Public transport by bus and tram is available from the airport to the city centre. Downside: It is an expensive place to visit at peak periods and it can be tough to find a place to stay. Your first visit should be at quieter times. To read: Edinburgh is a literary city and so many novels have

The Edinburgh Festival began fifty years ago as a strange amalgam of cultural banditry, civic enterprise and idealism, an intriguing - even bizarre -but singularly effective combination.
Iain Crawford (Banquo on Thursdays: The Inside Story of Fifty Edinburgh Festivals)
There was... a very palpable fear that involving the Scottish Committee of the Arts Council could lead to a more nationalistic festival, like the Scottish Theatre Festival envisaged by Bridie in October 1946. Some members of the Arts Council's Scottish Committee were considered 'too nationalistic and difficult to work with' by the London office.
Angela Bartie (The Edinburgh Festivals: Culture and Society in Post-War Britain)
I haven’t eaten anything funny since the Edinburgh Festival.
Philip Henry (Vampire Dawn)

The meaning of the world around us can no longer be considered as other than fragmentary, temporary, and even contradictory, and is always in dispute. How can a work of art set out to illustrate any sort of meaning which is known in advance? The modern movel is an enquiry, but an enquiry which creates its own meaning as it goes along.
Alain Robbe-Grillet (The Novel Today: Edinburgh International Festival 1962: Programme and Notes, International Writer's Conference)
