SCOTLAND: ON THE FRINGE

It's hard to argue with claims of being Britain's No. 1 tourist attraction and the world's largest arts fest. With nearly 19,000 performers from more than 60 countries expected this year, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe promises something for everyone: theater, comedy, music, dance, exhibitions and more. The fest opens Aug. 7 and runs through the end of the month.
