The Edinburgh Festival is one of the biggest annual cultural events in the UK, attracting thousands of visitors, some of whom may become victims of an accident in Scotland.
The festival has an international reputation for the quality of its performances and organisation across a wide field of the arts and, particularly, the Fringe, which is now bigger than the main festival, and in 2010 had more than 2,000 separate productions available for spectators to enjoy.
Because of the size of the event and its status, thousands of visitors flock to the Scottish capital from all over the world, often making the festival the centre of a long holiday or a short break.
As with any holiday in an unfamiliar place, there are likely to be all sorts of hazards for the unwary visitor and the chance of a holiday accident increases where there are large crowds.
Edinburgh was built around Arthur's Seat, the remnant of an extinct volcano, and there are many steep streets which can lead to slips, trips and falls, especially if a festival-goer has been enjoying the hospitality of a bar open all hours.
Of course, everyone has a duty to look after himself and to take care not to risk personal injury unnecessarily but attending public events should be a source of pleasure not pain.
Managements of all the festival venues, and there are dozens of them as well as open-air arenas and busking areas, will know about the importance of protecting audiences form harm but in some of the smaller venues hazards may arise through inattention or just through the pressure of organising an event.
Should you be unfortunate enough to suffer an accident while in Scotland on holiday or for any other reason, the emergency services and health facilities in Edinburgh are excellent and prompt attention will alleviate the immediate situation.
However, once you have recovered, you may decide the circumstances of your accident in Scotland are such that a claim for compensation against a person or organisation may be appropriate if there was a failing in duty of care.
