Edinburgh Military Tattoo


Edinburgh Military Tattoo

With its unique blend of music, ceremony, entertainment and theatre, and set against the magnificent backdrop of the Edinburgh Castle, the Edinburgh Military Tattoo is one of the world’s greatest shows. Each year about 217,000 people attend the Tattoo, while another 100 million watch it on television.

The Tattoo presents a host of international performers, military and civilian. Bands of all sizes and description have been joined, for example, by dancers, steel bands, flag-wavers, drill teams, zulus, camels, elephants, cavalry, motorcyclists, and police dogs. But at the heart of every Tattoo’s universal appeal is the stirring sight and sound of the massed pipes and drums from the Scottish regiments.
