A public celebration

A spectacular series of public events has been laid on to commemorate Scotland’s historic day on 1 July.
Organisers have drawn on elements of traditional and contemporary culture to provide a fitting celebration of the first parliament in Scotland for nearly 300 years.

Headline events include a huge bonfire, a rock concert by top band Garbage, a night of opera and a children’s procession, all of which are designed to create an unforgettable occasion.

A one-off open-air concert headlined by rock band Garbage will be held in the west side of the gardens below Edinburgh Castle.

It will be the first performance in Edinburgh for the band, whose lead singer Shirley Manson is Scottish.
