Why we love this
📌 With the impressive Edinburgh Castle Esplanade as its backdrop, enjoy musical delights, meticulous military precision from some of the world’s leading armed forces, international & cultural performers and stunning firework displays (weather permitting)
📌 A ‘military tattoo’ is a performance of music or display of armed forces. The ‘Tattoo’ takes its name from the phrase ‘Doe den tap toe’ (meaning ‘turn off the taps’), a throwback to when drums and pipes rang out through the streets, signifying time for the kegs to stop flowing and soldiers to head back to their barracks. A familiar instrumental chorus now reverberates through Edinburgh annually as the Tattoo gets into full swing and the city becomes a vibrant hive of activity with events, shows, and street performances all put on as part of the Edinburgh Festival
📌 The Tattoo brings together almost 1,000 musicians, pipers, drummers, singers and dancers to perform, boasting an impressive display
📌 The performance was originated in 1949 at the Ross Bandstand and was part of The Edinburgh International Festival of Music and Drama. The simple show was called ‘Something About a Soldier’ and has since grown into a global showcase, performed annually at Edinburgh Castle Esplanade
