Edinburgh Military Tattoo (sp)

wellquickwoody · Aug 25, 2014

Sort of liked it as a kid in the SEVENTIES, got less interested as a teen in the EIGHTIES, saw it vanish to post 11pm in the NINETIES, thought it was dropped past Y2K.

It is back on PRIMETIME BBC1 right now! REALLY? Have Auntie really got so little imagination? Does someone really think that the public have any interest? Is this just timed to go out with the independence debate later this evening?

Anyway, just to be nostalgic I have got out the M&S shortbread collection that Auntie Moira sent me for Xmas.

If Salmond wins the vote, doubt it will be on next year.

Went earlier this month. Very good and well worth the ticket price

Its a bit like the Royal Tournament that used to be on the BBC at Earls Court, excellent memories, but was stopped for a while due to costs.

Ditto.

I'd suggest the OP uses that magic on / off button if he doesn't like it.

There's a lot to like about a bit of pomp and ritual. Plus I'm a sucker for the pipes. Saw it live a few years back, when the lights came up after the lone piper and the pipes rose to Amazing Grace was one of the truly amazing moments of my life.

I went to Edinburgh for my 60th birthday, taking in the Tattoo as part of the weekend.

Perfect birthday outing in my opinion. My father was stationed in Edinburgh and we went with some of his old Naval mass. my cousin played pipes one year, unfortunately I didn't see that one but would go to see it any chance I got.

Why is it called Tatto ? Reminded me of Big Country the rock band.

As a diehard Falangist I cant get enough of it.

When I was very very young I loved going to Portsmouth for Navvy day also Aldershot for Army day and Farnborough air show.
