Edinburgh Military Tattoo

I found this picture of last year's Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo on Pinterest. I have since experienced the Tattoo myself and it was magnificent! This year was the 62nd anniversary for the Miltary Tattoo, which is an international bagpipe and drum corps competition, and received the "royal" designation in 2010. Held on the esplanade of the Edinburg castle, we saw fantastic light shows projected onto the castle walls and lots of pageantry, music of many genre, and fireworks, followed by the lone piper at the close of the evening. One simply cannot travel to Scotland and ignore the iconic sound of the pipes. Of course, some haggis and at least a wee dram of whisky is in order, as well!
