Edinburgh's international arts festival will return with a “reimagined” outdoor event in August, organisers said recently, after last year’s edition was cancelled for the first time in more than 70 years due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The festival, which attracts some of the world’s leading musicians, comedians and artists, will be held in the fresh air, using temporary pavilions at some of the city’s iconic locations.
