The Edinburgh Military Tattoo

Few places in Britain provide finer and purer light than Scotland, with utter clarity it illuminates a stunning landscape of forest, hills and lochs, peppered with fascinating heritage sites and historic towns.  This short-break includes a visit to Edinburgh’s famous Military Tattoo – a spectacle of music, light and precision movement performed by the massed pipes and drums of Scottish Regiments and units from around the World. The 100 minute long show is possibly the most stupendous on Earth and commands a TV audience of over 100 million – although there is absolutely no substitute for being there in person. When subtle lighting picks out the lone piper playing a lament on the castle ramparts, few in the audience fail to be moved by the atmosphere.
