Scotland - The Edinburgh Tattoo

The event takes place on the esplanade of Edinburgh's iconic Castle. An unforgettable evening of music, ceremony, theatre and dance!

SCOTLAND - The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo

Set against the backdrop of Edinburgh’s historic castle, The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo is one of the most special events in Edinburgh's calendar. Bringing together audiences from across the globe, the Tattoo celebrates the skills and talents of military bands and cultural performers from around the globe.

There are few such immersive and moving festival moments, a fact to which any of the over 220,000 people who experience it live every year can attest – not to mention the further 100 million watching on television around the globe! Audiences get into the spirit and stamp and cheer to the sounds of the Massed Pipes and Drums, clap along to the Tattoo Dancers and watch in awe at precision drill from military performers. The sounds of the bands can be heard throughout the city, followed by the cheers of the audience, and the glorious projections that light up the Castle.
