Beltane Fire Festival lights up Edinburgh sky as thousands turn out for annual event
FIRE illuminated the Edinburgh sky as thousands of people gathered to watch a modern take on an ancient Gaelic festival.
The Beltane Fire festival on Edinburgh's Calton Hill is held to mark the start of summer each year with theatre displays, dance and acrobatics.
Starting as darkness fell over the capital, a fire procession wound its way up the hill, stopping at set locations where different groups performed.
