Castle Concerts brought the big names to Edinburgh Castle Esplanade in the last week or so before the Tattoo takes up residence.

The weather was not always kind but the music from all artists beginning with Madness on 5 July and finishing with Paul Waller with JLS, Suede and Manic Street Preachers in between was top notch.

If you missed your chance this year then be sure to keep an eye on announcements here for next year’s shows and also dates in Glasgow. And see for yourself below what you missed…
