    Edinburgh Military Tattoo

    Going to the Tattoo this weekend folks at 10.30pm sat night- Its one of those things i always wanted to see but never got round to it. Just wondered if anyone on here has ever been to it.

    I hope you have a good time and enjoy yourself - but in all honesty I could not think of nothing worse.... well maybe watching showjumping.

    The Edinburgh festival is on as well isn't it?

          One of the best shows you will ever see. Been to it about 5 times now and everytime it impresses me. It's one of those shows that only comes together due to the location and history. Add to this it's in an amazing City if you love history and Architecture.

            I've seen it somewhere ,maybe youtube, and it's fantastic when all the bands join together.

              As pat says the mass bands are immense especially live. It will send a shiver up the spine.....Or that could just be the wind from sitting on the to of a hill. Even the way the sergeant directs the visitors up the royal mile is something to see

                    I went with my dad a few years ago,we went for a few pints first then had to stand in a queue a mile long,next time im taking a flask for the wait,great show as we both love the pipes for some strange reason.
