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.
