Young Performer make their way to perform in the Edinburgh Tattoo-2020


Tattoo first staged in 1950, the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo is an event steeped in traditions. Each year, the massed pipes and drums march over the narrow drawbridge, a lone piper plays high upon Edinburgh Castle’s ramparts and the national anthem is performed by military bands. Event Fans who want to join this iconic festival can buy Edinburgh Tattoo Tickets from our most consistent and unfailing online platform.


Yet each the annual outing of the Tattoo offers an inimitable show, with a different cast of troupes summoned from countries across the globe.

After seeing the Imps on the internet he was inspired to get involved. Justin has already ridden his motorbike for the crowds at Switzerland’s Basel Tattoo and has wanted to be part of the Edinburgh from the moment he joined the Imps.

Cast members at the Tattoo rehearse at Redford Barracks from early August, with the chance to watch other acts running through their routines. Justin is excited to see ‘the Kings Guard from Norway and especially the Jordanians as the team toured Jordan at the invitation of HM King Abdullah II. But what he’s most looking forward to is performing at Edinburgh Castle as it is so well-known throughout the world.

There’s a special kudos of having done Edinburgh and its gravitas continues attracting new participants to be part of the legacy and to draw previous cast members back to the esplanade.
One returning performer is Elayne Seaton a Highland dancer with Aileen Robertson School of Dancing, who made her Edinburgh Tattoo debut at last year’s East Meets West themed Tattoo.

I started Highland dancing at the age of three, after trying ballet and having watched Highland dancing on television. I asked my dance teacher if she could teach me the dancing with the quilts on.

At eight I began training in Highland with my current teacher and dance director of The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, Aileen Robertson. She gave me the opportunity to excel in competitive Highland dancing and passed on her love of choreography to me.

Performing as part of a team alongside dancers from around the world is an amazing experience and the electricity experienced by us after a performance has to be one of the most incredible feelings.
The Imps originated in the 1970s from the Hackney Adventure Holiday Project when one of them found a dysfunctional old motorbike. Today, looking resplendent in bright red jackets and white helmets, the troupe of youngsters perform internationally.

A sentiment no doubt familiar to Connie Roxburgh who is a member of Edinburgh Tattoo stalwarts Erskine Stewart Melville Choir. The Edinburgh school choir first performed as part of the Tattoo and have been invited back each year since.
