Finally! Finally made it to the Military Tattoo that thousands others from around the globe flock to Edinburgh every year to watch.So I have to thank my kind colleagues who managed to get cheap tickets off eBay (it's always a sell out event) and the 5 of us went.
And thankfully - no rain!
Boy am I proud of having done this - one down on the cultural 'been there' box. Here are a few pictures from the show - it was great!
The only things closest to home was the performance by the Singapore Police - white uniform, formation was ok...not great, but still not bad. But more importantly, they brought the lion dance to the Tattoo - wohoo!
The best show? Definately the Norway Royal Army. One word to describe them - yum!
All tall and just so... oh... good! Even the formations and foot work - not to mention that they were all 6 feet tall (need I say more?).
Then there was the firework from the castle. What a night.
There is news that they (the organisers) want to move the venue to Glasgow on the basis that the set takes 6 months to build. If thats the case - definate made history yesterday, could be the last of the Militaary Tattoo on the castle grounds.
Pictures...
