The LeithLate mini-festival is this year extending to 2 days, and spreading beyond its Leith Walk origins to pastures new, including parts of Broughton.
From 5.00pm till 10.00pm on Saturday 21 June, and 12pm till 5pm on Sunday 22 June, an eclectic 'smorgasbord of arts, music, film and spoken world' – including painting, video, sculpture, illustration, photography, collage, printmaking, performance, textiles and jewellery – will play out between Calton Hill and the Shore.
A dedicated double-decker red Routemaster bus will ferry culture vultures with sore feet or tight schedules between Calton Hill and Out of the Blue on Dalmeny Street via Gayfield Square.

Those events taking place south of Pilrig Street are:
1. Collective Gallery (Calton Hil): ‘Conversation of Monuments’ project by Laura Yuile (until 8pm on Saturday). An outdoor installation and consultation project, looking for ideas for a new public monument in the city.
2. Embassy Gallery (10b Broughton Street Lane): Ribofunk (Rapidshare, Laura Yuile, Naomia Davies, Thomas Aithchison, Katie Cercone, Joey Holder and Ilona Sagar) explores the 'psychedelic impact upon modes of perception, and the production of subjectivity native to a situation in which we, as desiring-machine upgrades, participate in an economy of commodified experience as a neurophysiological reality'.
3. Gayfield Creative Spaces (11 Gayfield Square): Broughton Design District exhibition, Kalopsia textiles exhibition and Natasha Russell installation.
4. Joseph Pearce (23 Elm Row): MishMish live music showcase from 5pm. Details here nearer the time.
