This year's Festival saw a whopping 50,266 performances of 3,269 shows in 294 venues across the city. The Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society has announced that by yesterday afternoon, with hundreds of performances still to take place, an estimated 2,475,143 tickets had been issued for shows - a 7.7% increase on last year.
Many of those Fringe-goers will have enjoyed the vibrant and varied street performers filling The Royal Mile. BroadwayWorld photographer Jamie Scott-Smith visited on the penultimate day of the Festival to catch them in action.
