Lead singer of indie-folk band, Tide Lines, Robert Robertson, treated a group of fans and visitors to the Ross Fountain to an impromptu acoustic set in Princes Street Gardens on Tuesday.
The band will be headlining this year’s family-friendly Royal Highland Hoolie on Friday 21 June (presented by Farmers Bash) as part of The Royal Highland Show.
The Highland Hoolie is a celebration of Scottish Music featuring a line-up of Scottish traditional bands as well as Irish country bands and takes place on Friday 21 and Saturday 22 June.
