Time to dig out your best tartan attire and paint a saltire on one cheek: St Andrew's Day celebrations are happening on Sun 29 Nov. This year, there's a jam-packed programme of events being held in St Andrew's Square (fitting) as part of Edinburgh's Christmas. Here, we've picked some highlights to help you celebrate Scotland's national day in style.

Stick Man
If you've got a young'un in the family, odds are you'll have heard of beloved children's book Stick Man, from Gruffalo creators Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler. This award-winning show is based on it, and the production went down a treat when it was featured as part of Edinburgh Christmas' 2014 programme. Our reviewer gave it four stars last year, noting that 'there’s a charming simplicity' that goes down well with young audiences.
