Edinburgh Raft Race 2022 06

            This weekend saw the return of the Edinburgh Raft Race and Canal Festival, the first for some time (like most other gatherings and events around the world, they've been on pause for too long - so nice to have it back!).

I was at the very first raft race back in 2007, taking pics (really, was it that long ago??). Since then the wee local Canal Festival has grown around the raft race, The race still features wacky designs (yes, some sank right away, that's part of the fun!) and runs from the old Leamington Lift Bridge to the end of the canal at Lochrin Basin. Most of the stalls and stages used to be along that stretch too, but this year it was all more spread out with some venues from there along to Harrison Park.

Bright, sunny, warm day, so we were lucky with weather (never a sure thing in Scotland for outdoor events!), but very, very windy - one raft had a small sail, which given the strong wind turned out to be a great idea! Everyone seemed to have a lot of fun, and I caught up with some friends to enjoy it with, a couple of them never having seen the race before.
