Edinburgh Military Tattoo
The Edinburgh Military Tattoo, one of Scotland's most iconic events presents a unique blend of music and military theatre set against the backdrop of a floodlit Edinburgh Castle. Since the event first took place in 1950, more than 12 million people have experienced this spectacular event and over 40 countries have been represented with an array of different bands and displays. 2009 sees Scotland's colourful military musical spectacular pay tribute to the 250th anniversary of the birth of Scotland's national bard, Robert Burns, in an emotive performance of pride and passion, during Scotland's first ever year of Homecoming.
A cosmopolitan cast of top-class talent will be present, including highlights such as the world-famous Massed Pipes & Drums, the Massed Bands of The Royal Air Force, Switzerland's Top Secret Drum Corps, along with the Edinburgh Tattoo Highland Spring Dancers, the Band of the Royal Regiment of Scotland, the traditional haunting notes of the Lone Piper and, in their first Tattoo appearance, the Central Band of the Swiss Army.
