The Edinburgh International Festival has worked hard in recent weeks to bring you many performances from a wide variety of artists.
And at the beginning of the month it was exciting to see the lights above the city – and very fortunate that they finished the night before the most tremendous thunderstorm in recent memory.
Enjoy some of the behind the scenes views of the performers – and a gallery of our photos from My Light Shines On below.
Watch all the EIF videos on their YouTube channel here.
We went behind-the-scenes with members of @SCOmusic as they reunited after months apart to play with Paul Lewis in an empty @captheatres Festival Theatre.
