The worlds largest Arts Festival takes place every August in Edinburgh. Accommodation can be hugely expensive and the city becomes incredibly busy and congested. Many people now tend to stay in Glasgow for half the price and take the bus or train to Edinburgh when you want to visit (and you have to visit as it is amazing). The 900 bus Service leaves every 10 minutes from Glasgow City Centre during the fringe and costs as little as £8 return with children travelling free with their parents. Enjoy the best of two of Scotlands finest Cities!
