Staged every year as part of the world-famous Edinburgh Festival, the Edinburgh Military Tattoo is a unique and memorable celebration of music, dance and military pageantry.  

Set against the spectacular backdrop of the floodlit Edinburgh Castle, almost a thousand musicians, pipers, drummers, singers, and dancers perform at The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo on the Esplanade.

One of the most memorable moments is the stirring performances of the Massed Pipes and Drums and Military Bands that emerge from beneath the portcullis gate, playing the rousing battle tunes of Scotland's famed regiments.  

As the show unfolds, there are spectacular displays from the many overseas performers who bring a flavour of their national culture through music and dance.  

This unforgettable spectacle is brought to an emotional and poignant close each evening as a lone piper, spotlit high on the castle ramparts, plays a haunting lament.

A mass chorus of Auld Lang Syne and the dazzling march out brings the curtain down on a truly memorable night's entertainment. 

These tours are immensely popular so expect to be travelling in the company of like-minded travellers from around the world. It’s a great way to make new friends!

Age-wise it’s really difficult for us to give an accurate figure for any given tour departure, but experience has taught us to expect the median age to be between 45 and 50.

Yes, it is possible to bring a folding wheelchair or walking aid with you. It will be stored in the luggage compartment of the coach whilst travelling.

We’re sorry that powered scooters cannot be carried.

Please note that this facility is only available if you are travelling with someone who can provide you with any personal assistance you may require while on tour.

The coaches used on extended tours are not adapted with wheelchair lifts, so you will need to negotiate several steps to gain access and egress to/from the coach.
