The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo

The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo is an annual series of military tattoos performed by British Armed Forces, Commonwealth and international military bands, and artistic performance teams on the Esplanade of Edinburgh Castle. The event is held each August as one of the Edinburgh Festivals.

The term ‘tattoo’ originally meant an evening drum or bugle signal that recalled soldiers to their quarters and came to signify any military performance. The first official Edinburgh Military Tattoo took place in 1950, when around 6,000 people gathered at Edinburgh Castle. Renamed The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo in 2010, the event features military displays, music, and international cultural performance.

Each year the Edinburgh Royal Warrant Holders Association holds a Scottish buffet supper for members and their guests before heading to the Castle.
