Dates and Attendances
Edinburgh Evening News reported these results from the recently published
City of Edinburgh Council Edinburgh Council Survey.
The
results show some significant increases in attendances for 2010, compared
to 2009, including a surprisingly high increase for the Edinburgh Festival Fringe
if the figures in this table are to be believed.

NOTE I could not reconcile the TOTAL as published in the
table in the Evening
News article. It gave totals of: 5,486,354 (very close) and
4,402,251 (Where did that come from?)
I think the 2009 total may include
figures for 'The Gathering', part of Scotland's Year of Homecoming (not
listed in the table above.
So I have calculated my own totals for the table above.
