If you're looking for somewhere to enjoy the sun, the Edinburgh Canal Festival is returning to the city.
On June 17, residents and visitors to Edinburgh can get involved in a raft race, free activities, live music and various water sports along the Union Canal.
At Lochrin Basin you can find out what life on a houseboat is like with a tour of the Four Sisters Boatel, watch some canoe polo, try your hand at drawing local views with tutor led art sessions, or join in a silent disco.

There's also live music at Lochrin Basin from midday onwards. Over at Leamington Liftbridge, there's more live music as well as the raft race which kicks off at 3pm.
There's another stage over at Fountainbridge Green, with even more entertainment and an array of stalls with food, drinks and crafts. Then, further afield at Harrison Park you can get involved with a Ju Jitsu demonstration, chess lessons, an Indian dance workshop and a ballet tryout - truly something for everyone.
Ahead of the event, organisers said: "Residents and visitors are invited to explore the Union Canal between the Lochrin Basin and Harrison Park and to meet some of the great organisations that operate year round on and near to the canal.
"There will be loads of free activities and entertainment as you travel along the canal in the heart of Edinburgh. Come and discover some #canalmagic."
