    Edinburgh is its Own Star

    One of the great stars of the Edinburgh International Film Festival is Edinburgh itself, a beautiful city and a great place to explore between screenings. This picture was taken in the city's Grassmarket area looking toward Edinburgh Castle (with Union Jack flying), site of the nightly Military Tattoo performances, a crowd-pleasing spectacle. Edinburgh has solidified its position as Scotland's capital with a new parliament following devolution. Photo by Brian Brooks/indieWIRE
