The Edinburgh Military Tattoo was first performed in 1950 as the Army’s contribution to the Edinburgh Music Festival. Today, with its unique blend of music, ceremony, entertainment and theatre, set against the backdrop of Edinburgh Castle, it is without doubt one of the world’s greatest shows. The sight of the massed pipes and drums of the Scottish regiments and the Lone Piper high on the castle battlements are lasting memories of a wonderful evening’s entertainment.
