The Royal Mile — Everything including the Fringe

Start at the entrance to Edinburgh Castle and end with drinks at the Café at Holyrood Palace. Everything we shoot stays on the Mile itself. Side streets and closes are fair game, but shoot from the Mile looking down them — don’t follow them in. The Fringe turns the Royal Mile into one of the most photographed streets in the world for three weeks a year. Your challenge is to find something in it that doesn’t look like everyone else’s shot. The performers, the crowds, the chaos — it’s all there. Look for the edges of it: the performer between acts, the audience member who isn’t watching, the poster peeling in the rain. (Though let's hope it stays dry.) This week: everything the Mile has to offer, especially (but not only) the festival. Where we’ll meet: 1.00pm Edinburgh Castle entrance — or the car park entrance if access to the Castle gate isn’t possible. Where we’ll finish: 2.30pm Drinks at the Café at Holyrood Palace.
