Edinburgh Military Tattoo: A celebration of the Scottish Regiments

A great way to see Edinburgh Castle, the Edinburgh Military Tattoo performs every August in the esplanade of the fortress. A showcase of athleticism and marching from the Royal Regiment of Scotland, the Tattoo also welcomes the military forces from South Africa and South America among other nations, as well as highland dancing from Scottish performers. Other contributions come by way of the Royal Marines' bands and the Massed Pipes and Drums. Audiences can watch soldiers abseil down the castle walls and see dazzling light shows, before the event ends with the tradition of the Lone Piper, playing high on the castle ramparts. This is a hugely popular tourist attraction each year and is a great addition to touring Edinburgh Castle during the day.
