Default Edinburgh Military Tattoo - Anyone been ?

Just been watching these clips from YouTube of last years Tattoo at Edinburgh Castle - it looks superb - absolutely awesome co-ordination and choreography

Just have a look and you will be impressed.

I took a bunch of customers to a corporate hostility thing at the Tattoo about 5 or 6 years ago. The show was OK but not really my thing, and the best bit was having dinner in the Castle, then walking down the esplanade in front of all the common people to our posh seats. Still got the knee blankets.

Come up in august during the festival, theres much more going on at that time for you to get up to so have a log onto...

www.edfringe.co.uk

and the Tattoo itself is a fairly awesome show, guarenteed you'll enjoy it, ust living here you never go really.

Now survival wise for the tattoo you will need, 1x blanket (chequered preferebly, use burbery to ward off the chav's), 2x thermos (one for tea/coffee and one for broth for some reason) 1x heavy trousers (its fucking freezing here ALWAYS, try salopettes) 1x heavy jumpers(to fit in with the tattoo crowd it should be home made arran knitted with barbed wire and donkey's pubic hair...or so it felt) and 1X brightest yellow plastic mac you can find)

and that is what youll need to be a tourist in edinburgh

Come up, youll love it

Me and the other half have been the last few years, always a good show. Looking forward to it again this year.

If anyone is thinking of going, then you need to book your tickets around about October for the following year. The Yanks and japs love it, so a lot of the tickets go to them.
