Against the magnificent backdrop of Edinburgh Castle, join us to experience the Tattoo’s unique blend of music, ceremony, entertainment, and theatre. This is a chance to witness the enthralling spectacle which draws thousands of people year after year with its magical atmosphere, featuring the world-famous massed pipes and drums, military bands, highland dancers, and the haunting sound of the lone piper, once seen never forgotten. There will be free time in Edinburgh, and we visit Melrose on our return.

PLEASE NOTE:  When this brochure went to print the Tattoo tickets were not on sale. There is a huge demand so please note, tickets are subject to availability. Also, the itinerary may have to be changed to accommodate ticket allocations.

The Coach drop off point for the Tattoo is quite a walk from the event. There is a steep cobbled incline to the castle area and steps to climb to the seating area.
