If you're in town in April, I'd highly recommend a trot up Calton Hill for Beltane.

It's a bunch of middle class hippies pretending to be pagans, but it's a darned good show.
The May Queen processes around the hill to welcome in summer.
There's several thousand people, darkness, fire, drums, alcohol, partial nudity on a steep hill - surprisingly, nothing goes wrong!
A few years back, a woman who was Scottish but had grown up in Canada with her parents as ex-pats came back home to build a new life here, turned up in my local, and I ended up being tasked with showing her our strange Edinburgh ways.
Took her to Beltane, lovely clear night with the moon over the Forth, drums hammering away, the National Monument lit up with the bonfire, a hipflask of Edradour, and it brought a tear to my eye when she said, "this is the best city on the planet".
