In the afternoon, BB young people joined with thousands of others for the ‘Heart and Soul’ festival in Princes Street Gardens. The festival celebrates the vast life and culture of the Church of Scotland and brings together people, young and old, from every corner of Scotland for an afternoon of music, fun, laughter and faith.
