High 5

Madeline Matthews, 68, a retired teacher from Stockbridge, chooses her cultural highlights of Edinburgh.

1 The Festival and Fringe ..of course!

There's something for absolutely everyone.

2 The Traverse Theatre

We're so lucky to have somewhere that brings us cutting-edge new work.

3 The Filmhouse and Cameo cinemas

It's impossible to choose between these two, they both bring fascinating films to a wider audience.

4 The City Arts Centre, Market Street

Exhibitions here are always accessible and interesting.

5 The Storytelling Centre, High Street

This offers something a little bit different.
