Edinburgh’s popular Beltane Fire Festival returns to Calton Hill next week - a spectacular celebratory event that attracts thousands each year.
The ancient Celtic event celebrates fire, new life and purity, and marks the end of the darker seasons and the arrival of summer on May Day. The age old tradition, that goes back 3,000 years, was first revived for modern times in Edinburgh in 1988 and is now one the largest celebration of its kind in the world.
Ahead of the big celebration on April 30, members of the Beltane Fire Society were busking in the streets to raise money for their charity.
