Out for breakfast to Craigie Farm - Anne sorting out her new phone...

We ate sausages then, rather ironically, visited the piglets...

...and the chickens...

...and the large pigs...

Back home, more project nonsense as I collected suggestions from Twitterchums of acts who, in their opinion, issued a stonking debut LP, followed by 9 in a row further stonking albums...

I then compiled a playlist of the debuts I have, which involved locating a few jazz titles from the "boxes of burns"...

Some people's taste in music is very surprising...

This evening, out to SVM on Princes Street for the closing of the Festival, with music by Bernstein and fireworks to the soundtrack of Gustav Holst's "Planets Suite"...

Great views as ever - we could not make it last year...

Good to be back...

Here are just a few of the over 200 pics I took...

A quite excellent 45 minutes to round off a plethora of things seen and enjoyed this year...

A drive home and the first of a new series from Jed Mercurio, "The Bodyguard" promises to be very good indeed...

Today's artwork, "Pyrotechnics"...

Highlight of the Day : Also the pyrotechnics...
