The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo
The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo is an annual series of military tattoos performed by British Armed Forces, Commonwealth and international military bands on the esplanade of Edinburgh Castle. It is held each August as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The first official Edinburgh Military Tattoo, with eight items in the programme, was held in 1950. Since then, it has expanded considerably and in 2010 it was renamed “the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo” after HM Queen Elizabeth awarded the Royal title in celebration of its six decades of existence. The Tattoo performance takes place every weekday evening and twice on Saturdays throughout August and has never had to be cancelled due to inclement weather.
