We planned our August 2009 vacation around this event and were not disappointed. From the moment two Tornado jet fighters screached overhead until the notes of the last piper faded, it was awe inspiring. The program varies from year to year, so your experience may vary, but one thing remains constant, the massed pipes and drums. Their haunting sound brought... more

Fantastic performances and highly enjoyable at the entrance to historic Edinburgh Castle. With the Castle as the backdrop, this provides for an incredible evening. I could have listened to the pipers and drums all night. more

My husband and I went on a coach tour to Scotland which included a trip to the Edinburgh Tattoo. I wasn't really that bothered, but as we are now pensioners, thought it may be good to see it at least once. From the minute it started, when a Tornado jet flew over very low over your head to the very... more

My husband & I attended the 2009 tattoo and having travelled all the way from NZ we were not disappointed. Hubby (who is a piper) said it was the "best show he has ever been to" so was well worth the trip. The mass band sound made the hair on my neck stand up, just brilliant. more

Only a few years ago it had a stunnign... more

We did the early show of the tattoo on Aug 22nd. It was cold and blustery, but the weather stayed dry for us. It is a terrific show, worth the problems of ordering the tickets nearly a year early and with no refund/exchange options if you can't make that date and time, and working the huge (9,000 people) crowd for... more

I always watch the televised version and it was on my "to do" list for years. Well this year I did it and it surpassed all my expectations. Thinking of keeping it on my "to do" list so I can go again another year. See this at least once in your lifetime. more
