REVIEW: Prestonfield’s glorious Autumn Harvest Afternoon Tea
A nice cup of tea. In our house, few traditions are quite as sacred. After all, is there anything as restorative as a strong brew served in a tactile mug, and enjoyed in good company? I pondered the power of a good ‘cuppa char’ as we drove towards Edinburgh’s Prestonfield House, an unapologetically luxurious five-star…

Read MoreFRINGE REVIEW: FLAMENCO GUITAR ODYSSEY WITH PHILIP ADIE
Rosie Morton reviews Philip Adie’s Flamenco Guitar Odyssey. ONE man and his guitar. Amidst the madness of The Fringe, it pays to keep things simple. Aberdeen-born Philip Adie, who now lives in Seville, did just that with his ‘Flamenco Guitar Odyssey’. Taking to the stage in Alba Flamenca, an intimate venue on East Crosscauseway, Adie…
Read MoreFRINGE REVIEW: IMA (‘Pray’)
Rosie Morton reviews IMA at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. IMA (the Hungarian word for ‘pray’) is a spine-tingling circus experience from Budapest’s multi-award-winning Recirquel Cirque Danse company.
