It was confirmed last week that the usual firework display at Edinburgh Castle to mark the end of the International Festival would not be taking place.
Instead of the spectacular event which attracts around 250,000 to the city centre, there will be an event in Princes Street Gardens featuring a live performance by the Philadelphia Orchestra streamed to the Ross Bandstand.
In the early days of the festival fireworks opened the event, but a closing display has been a tradition since 1982.
Here are 17 pictures to take you back to the event over the decades.
