Set at Edinburgh Castle this dramatic performance includes 1,000 musicians, pipers, drummers, singers and dancers who perform on the esplanade. Military bands play old Scottish battle tunes and tell the story of Scotland’s past through their music. Blended with Scottish tradition are some of the best overseas performers who bring colourful and diverse displays of their own culture to make this evening a truly memorable experience! You will set off after breakfast to Edinburgh for the 6:15pm performance with a packed lunch provided to ensure you have sufficient time to enjoy the city before heading to the Tattoo. Please note that there is a walk to the castle and steps up to stand-seating. Contact the bookings office for any mobility queries.
Historic Stirling
Explore the beautiful Royal Burgh of Stirling where for centuries monarchs ruled from its strategic castle and where merchants operated below castle rock. Stirling is Scotland’s heritage capital, and the Wars of Independence were fought and won here. The city has been carefully preserved and the history of Scotland lives on through the architecture and local landmarks. The castle sits majestically above the busy city and its regal splendour remains unchanged. The National Wallace Monument stands at 220ft and overlooks the scene of one of Scotland’s most famous battle sites, The Battle of Stirling Bridge, which was led by the famous William Wallace.
Pitlochry & Killin
Pitlochry is beautifully set in Highland Perthshire and has been a popular tourist destination since Queen Victoria made her Grand Tour of Scotland. This friendly little town boasts quaint architecture and beautiful scenery, as well as local crafts and produce. Kilin is also a pretty village and is famous for the spectacular series of rapids that run through the centre – The Falls of Dochart. Wander around the village and enjoy the short walks that explore the Falls, whilst soaking up the friendly local atmosphere of this special place.
