The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo

The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo brings music, ceremony and spectacle to one of the world’s most dramatic performance settings. Against the backdrop of Edinburgh Castle, the stirring sound of pipes and drums accompanies precision displays, colourful costumes and carefully choreographed performances by military and civilian participants.

Take your reserved seat and experience the atmosphere as the evening unfolds across the castle esplanade. From powerful musical arrangements to the skill of the performers, the Tattoo offers an occasion that is both moving and exhilarating.

Time in Edinburgh allows you to explore the Royal Mile, visit a museum or enjoy the city’s shops and restaurants before the performance. Our stay in Glasgow adds another side of Scotland, with grand architecture, cultural attractions and a lively city centre to explore.

We travel north through the Scottish Borders to Glasgow and check in to the centrally located AC Marriott hotel. There is then time to begin exploring Scotland’s largest city. Take a walk around George Square, where grand civic buildings reflect Glasgow’s rich heritage, or head towards the River Clyde to enjoy its waterfront. Once central to the city’s shipbuilding and trading industries, the river offers a different perspective on Glasgow, with historic bridges and modern developments along its banks.

Enjoy a leisurely morning in Glasgow before we travel to Edinburgh in the early afternoon. You’ll have time to explore the Scottish capital at your own pace, perhaps wandering along the Royal Mile and discovering the narrow closes that lead off its historic streets. Admire the city’s striking architecture, browse the shops and choose somewhere for a meal before this evening’s Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo.

Take your reserved seat on the esplanade, with magnificent Edinburgh Castle providing a dramatic backdrop. Performers from around the world bring music, ceremony and dance to this remarkable setting, combining precision and artistry on a grand scale. The stirring sound of massed pipes and drums, colourful pageantry and carefully choreographed displays create a spectacular evening and memories to treasure.

Enjoy a final morning in Glasgow, with time to follow your own interests.
