Edinburgh Streets Shut for Festival Season | Edinburgh News

Edinburgh’s gearing up for festival season with major street closures—pedestrianizing key Old Town spots and George Street to boost walkability amid huge crowds. The long-awaited North Bridge reopens by end of July, easing travel for locals and tourists. Most closures kick in July 27th through September 7th, with High Street and Parliament Square fully car-free, while Cowgate restricts cars 3 PM–5 AM (bikes still OK). Earlier closures hit George Street and nearby junctions, with Johnston Terrace shutting down during the August Military Tattoo. City council’s ready to handle the influx—patience appreciated as they prep for the cultural spectacle. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
