The Edinburgh Tattoo is the
most spectacular show in the
world, enjoyed by an
international television
audience of 100 million. But
there's no substitute for
being there, as part of the
217,000-strong audience over
its three-week season on the
Esplanade at Edinburgh
Castle who don't simply
watch the show but become a
part of it. A hush falls
and darkness deepens, the
great oak gates of the
Castle sweep open and the
swell of the pipes and drums
cracks through the night
sky. As the massed bands
march out in their hundreds
across the drawbridge,
flanked by effigies of
William Wallace and Robert
The Bruce, emotions run
high: this matchless
spectacle unfailingly
enthralls, symbolising the
Scotland that everyone holds
dear in their heart.
