Linking up
Edinburgh International Festival and Lothian Buses are teaming up to offer a Lowland Hall bus link to the Royal Highland Centre in Ingliston during the festival. The Lowland Hall is the stage for three shows this year: 2008: Macbeth, Meine faire Dame – ein Sprachlabor, and Les Naufragés du Fol Espoir (Aurores). The bus leaves from George Street 90 minutes before the start of each performance.

Lighten up
Just three week's training time remains until Arthur's Seat becomes the location for NVA's Speed of Light project during the Edinburgh International Festival. During the nightly performances the hill will be soundtracked by an electronic score created by participants. Runners will wear light suits and walkers will create the music through their movements.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.

We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.
