With the Edinburgh Fringe now almost here, a number of shows are now beginning previews.
With comedians such as Olga Koch and Christopher Macarthur-Boyd set to perform in the Scottish capital tonight, there is sure to be something on for everyone today.
But if you’re looking for some family friendly things to do in Edinburgh today, don’t worry as there is plenty on elsewhere around the city - including a free Bluey Treasure Hunt.
