    One of the most iconic features of Beltane Fire Festival is, of course, the fire 🔥🔥 when you’ve seen it once, it is difficult to forget. The combination of flaming torches, fire sculptures, and the bonfire all come together to make an awesome view on top of Calton Hill - and the warmth of the flames on your cheeks makes a welcome change from the chilly Edinburgh nights that have come before. New on our blog, a fiery guide to what you can expect to see on the night.
