Military Tattoo

My time in Scotland is done and I am back in the US.  Before I left Scotland, I had the opportunity to experience the Edinburgh Military Tattoo.  What a great night, even if it was outside and it was raining the whole time.  The Tattoo features performers from over 46 countries and tells the story of the Scotland origins and exploration around the world.  A lot of fun music, a great story, and wonderful lights on the Castle.  It takes place just outside the Edinburgh Castle and was a perfect way to finish my time over there.  Anyone thinking of traveling to Scotland should try to go in August to take advantage of the Fringe Festival and the Military Tattoo.

Beautiful sky outside the Castle

Oh kilts, I will miss you

The Castle in lights for the different countries being represented

The island nations were great to watch

So many bagpipes

Lots of bagpipes

Patriotic Castle
