An artist performing at the Edinburgh Fringe festival has been criticised for performing a quenelle salute outside Edinburgh Castle.

Alison Chabloz, whose solo acoustic show at the festival is called Autumn’s Here, has posted pictures of the inverted Nazi salute in response to Israel supporters.

Fringe organisers received complaints after an image of Ms Chabloz making the gesture with Edinburgh Castle in the background appeared on social media.

But they said no action would be taken.
