Each year, at the end of the Edinburgh International Festival of the Arts they have a pretty big fireworks display. I'm talking HUGE. The fireworks are set off from the castle and they last for about an hour. They are also set to music, played by the Scottish Chamber Orchestra from Princes Street Gardens (right below the castle). This year, the musical selection was taken from pieces by Dvorak and Brahms.
Here is a selection of some of the fireworks I saw:
The view from Hanouver Street.
The view from there was pretty poor really, so after a bit we moved to Castle Street, which, as the name implies, has a great view of the castle.
The view from Castle Street.
The finale!
And the best part - all of this was free!
