Amidst all the Edinburgh Festival shennanigans, it’s been hard at times, in Edinburgh and the Lothians, to remember that the world continues normally behind the plethora of closed streets, visitors and Oxbridge students pushing flyers in the face of anyone who dares to make eye contact with them. We would normally, in August, expect to…
