The Scotsman has been proud to cover the Edinburgh festivals since they began in 1947, and as the festivals have grown, our coverage has grown too. We are not aware of any other daily newspaper, anywhere in the world, which produces a greater volume of professional arts criticism in a single month than we do in a typical August. This summer, we’re planning to bring you as much of the magic as we possibly can via our team of specialist writers. You can find out more about our reviewers below.
