A land rights campaigner and local resident is planning to enter the Taste of Edinburgh Festival without a ticket when the event opens for business on Friday.
Andy Wightman asserts that he has a right to enter the festival as a member of the public, which is being held in Inverleith Park, and features celebrity chefs, cookery classes, a champagne and oyster bar, and even has its own internal currency of "crowns," worth fifty pence each.
