What is The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo Festival?

The Edinburgh Military Tattoo put on show in August-2020 during the Edinburgh International Celebration, which involves the famous Fringe Festival. Event Fans who want to join this iconic festival can buy Edinburgh Military Tattoo Tickets from our most trusted and reliable online platform.

If you’ve never had the opportunity to experience a military tattoo elsewhere, then you’re probably wondering what I’m even talking about. Firstly, it’s nothing to do with getting a tattoo! The name “tattoo” comes from the 17th and 18th centuries when a cry of ‘doe den tap toe’ which meant ‘turn off the taps’ and piping and drums signaled to the soldiers that the pubs were closed and they must return to the barracks.

Fast-forward to now, and a Scottish military tattoo is known as a performance of music or a display by the armed forces. The most famous and majestic of all is the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, affectional well-known in Edinburgh simply as “the Tattoo”.

But what will you see if you get tickets to the Tattoo? Each year there is a different theme, with 2019 having the theme “Kaleidoscope” after the invention by the Scottish Sir David Brewster in about 1816. Each year one of the UK’s armed forces lead the military tattoo, but groups from all over the world will also perform.

When I went to the Edinburgh Tattoo I saw everything from huge Scottish pipe bands, to jazz and blues singing Americans, rugby-playing and dancing Kiwi’s, motorbike stunts, Shetland fiddlers, highland dancers, and much more. You can expect to be treated to a wide variety of performances and entertainment, designed to showcase talent from around the world.

Throughout the performance, Edinburgh Castle is like additional troupe members, with video and pictures being projected onto the smokescreen. So many cables are used in the show to get all of this right that if they were spread out in a line they would reach from Edinburgh to Glasgow!
