Imagine a historic castle, lit up in lilac or gold. Imagine the emotive sound of hundreds of musicians from around the world, all beating and piping in time. Imagine motor cycles and dancers flying through the air as though carried by wings. Imagine TV cameras relaying this spectacle to 100 million people around the world. Imagine a lone piper on the castle ramparts, playing a haunting lament that feels like it’s just for you. Now, don’t just imagine it; book it!

This summer, reserve your place in the audience for Edinburgh’s unrivalled, unforgettable and truly international Military Tattoo, with its abundance of matchless entertainment, against the backdrop of Scotland’s top tourist attraction.

An international flavour will be evident with Commonwealth performers from Australia, Canada, South Africa and New Zealand. Renowned performers will include one of the world’s most sensational percussion groups, Switzerland’s Top Secret Drum Corps and also, the display team from the Norwegian Armed Forces,

His Majesty The King’s Guard Band and Drill Team who will deliver an extraordinary display of discipline and precision.
