Though relatively small, there was a carnival-like atmosphere as writers posed for pictures and their children and dogs ran through the prongs of tourists there to see the mighty 157m cathedral — the largest of its kind in the world.

The Bootleg Film Festival showcases movies made on a shoestring - some of the most truly independent work around - and this year it's coming to Edinburgh. The line-up, announced today, includes home-grown favourites like Electric Man and All That Glisters alongside work gathered from around the world - and all of it is free.
Hosted by the Banshee Labyrinth, the event will run from the 22nd to the 24th of this month and will also feature workshops aimed at helping aspiring filmmakers to develop their skills. Guests will include Rob Savage, there to introduce his award-winning film Strings, and Bootleg founder Tom Wilton who will present the première of his new feature Pale Horse.
"I'm delighted to be bringing Bootleg to Edinburgh," says Creative Director Neil Rolland. "I can honestly say it’s the most grounded and inspiring festival I have ever been to... It has been an absolute joy to put.
