Bosco Theatre, Edinburgh International Book Festival
This year the book festival has expanded beyond Charlotte Square to George Street. The Bosco Theatre (Theater) hosts some of the smaller events, seen here on the opening day, 12th August. It was originally a Dutch circus tent built in 1909 and will seat up to 200 - see Link for more on its history.
The inscription on the lintel is: "God bless the baxters of Edinbrugh [sic]who built this house 1675". The Ancient Incorporation of Baxters (bakers) had a long association with Dean Village, where there were several mills which provided the baxters with flour.
