Survival Guide
Edinburgh Festivals SURVIVAL GUIDE Introduction by Alexander McCall Smith INTRODUCTION The original Edinburgh Festival was a wonderful gesture. In 1947, Britain was a dreary and difficult place to live, with the hardships and shortages of the Second World War still very much in evidence. The idea was to promote joyful celebration of the arts that would bring colour and excitement back into daily life. It worked, and the Edinburgh International Festival visitor might find a suitable festival even at the less rapidly became one of the leading arts festivals of obvious times of the year. The Scottish International the world. Edinburgh in the late summer came to be Storytelling Festival, for example, takes place in the synonymous with artistic celebration and sheer joy, shortening days of late October and early November, not just for the people of Edinburgh and Scotland, and, at what might be the coldest, darkest time of the but for everybody. year, there is the remarkable Edinburgh’s Hogmany, But then something rather interesting happened. one of the world’s biggest parties.

Beyond Cobble Stones Edinburgh Editorial “Beyond Cobblestones“
Beyond Cobble Stones edinburgh Editorial “Beyond Cobblestones“ Tourism is jeopardized by cliché. Ever since Lonely Planet made backpacking some kind of cult, tourists following the mainstream hop-on hop-off travel style seem to be redundant. In spite of Lonely Planet, it would be wrong to dismiss cli- chés completely because they are a cliché for a reason. They are enjoyable. This gui- de will explore them and look beyond them as well. The historical city of Edinburgh can be experienced in an extraordinary and unique way. Much more lies beyond the cobblestones of Edinburgh’s Old Town apart from spooky ghosts and whisky. To avoid open-minded visitors stumbling between the capital’s cobblestones, this guide offers you a bit of the best of the city’s culture, history, literature, sports and food. So why not spend a rainy day in one of the second-hand shops or try sugary fudge in one of the factories? If, surprisingly, the sun is actually shining, visit the harbour or even climb to the top of Arthur’s Seat for a chance to get rid of some of the calories put on while drinking beer during last night’s pub crawl. A pub visit is a must for every Edinburgh trip. Without a pint of beer, haggis and bagpipe music the capital of Scotland would be a poorer place. So give it a try! Some clichés always have to be taken back home – even if it turns out to be just a torn and old-fashioned kilt.

From Clan Forsyth Society
FORSYTH NOTES February 1, 2015 Welcome to the three hundredth seventh issue of Forsyth Notes. Forsyth Notes is published monthly by Clan Forsyth Society of the USA, and is your e-link to your extended Forsyth family. Click here for back issues of Forsyth Notes in PDF format. From Clan Forsyth Society A Wee Bit of Scottish Humor The Bagpiper By Gary Martz Time is like a river. You cannot touch the water twice, because the flow that has passed will never pass again. Enjoy every moment of life. As a bagpiper, I play many gigs. Recently I was asked by a funeral director to play at a graveside service for a homeless man. He had no family or friends, so the service was to be at a pauper's cemetery in the Nova Scotia back country. As I was not familiar with the backwoods, I got lost and, being a typical man, I didn't stop to ask for directions. I finally arrived an hour late and saw the funeral guy had evidently gone and the hearse was nowhere in sight. There were only the diggers and crew left and they were eating lunch. I felt badly and apologized to the men for being late. I went to the side of the grave and looked down and saw that the vault lid was already in place. I didn't know what else to do, so I started to play. The workers put down their lunches and began to gather around. I played out my heart and soul for this man with no family and friends.

P Ap Er Stage S
Forest Fringe — Paper Stages Paper 2012 — Paper Stages i Introduction IT BEGINS AS IT ALWAYS DOES AT FOREST FRINGE with an invitation. Come and spend some time with us. We have done all this for you and we hope that you like it. It will not cost you anything, unless you want it to. We take what we’re doing seriously but that doesn’t mean you can’t laugh. We don’t expect you to understand everything. We don’t understand everything. We don’t promise not to upset you. We don’t promise to keep you entertained. But we promise we care and we ask you to trust us. To give something of yourself and see what happens. Stages Paper And this being the Edinburgh Festival, normally by now if you were convinced or even just a little curious you would find yourself queuing on a wide stone staircase leading to a tall-ceilinged church hall. You would have in your hand a crumpled raffle ticket to get you into the show and perhaps a bottle of organic beer, or the remains of an old coffee, or a rain-spattered copy of the fringe brochure used briefly as an umbrella on the run to get here in time. You may know what you are about to see or you may not. It’s not all that important. You may have been here before or you may not. That is also not important. You are probably expectant, and a little cold, listening almost accidentally to the conversations that ripple around you.

I appreciate beyond words all of the time she spent going over my thesis and helping me to improve upon it. Thank you, too, to my oral defense committee members – Dr. Susan Sainato, Dr. Kimberly Winebrenner, and Professor Kimberly Talentino – for their patience and their advice. iv 1 Introduction I chose to write a creative work for my thesis because I strongly believe in the power of novels, for they have the ability to transcend boundaries and change people’s views through the exploration of other’s perspectives. By writing a creative piece rather than a critical one, I had more artistic freedom, was able to appeal to a wider audience, and was able to better depict my ideas about travel and people with special needs. I feel that writing a novella has given me an exceptional chance to apply what I have learned about literature during my time as an English major.
