4000 expected at Church's festival in Princes Street
Up to 4000 visitors are expected at the free event, which will include worship, entertainment, displays and stalls highlighting the church's work.
Co-organiser the Rev Dr George Whyte said: "We are there to publicly celebrate the life of the Church of Scotland. It's for those who know nothing about the Church and those who are deeply involved."
