Out Hot Tip of the Month - May

Although by the time you read this the moment may have passed, it is worth putting it in your diary for next year. May Day celebrations traditionally start at sunset on 30th April and herald the start of Summer. The Beltane Festival on Calton Hill can be seen from all around Edinburgh with the traditional setting alight of the bonfire. It's a definite spectacle with people dancing wildly by the light of the fires. If you can stay up all night, legend says you can listen for the bells that herald the approach of the Fairy Queen and after a couple of glasses of wine, you may believe you can, but if that sounds like too much excitement, you can set your alarm clock nice and early so that y the time the sun rises at 5:30am, you can have climbed Arthur's Seat where yo'll join hundreds of people making a special wish as they wash their faces in the dew.
