The BBC broadcast of this year’s Edinburgh Military Tattoo. Edited highlights from the esplanade of Edinburgh Castle for your viewing pleasure…
it aint getting better then this <3
Great job! Like your music. If you wanna listen to the Swedish version of military drumming check out our videos!
FUCKING EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But our tattoo has fewer pipe bands and more multicultural dancing, of course to reflect our mixed heritage. They had an arabic band!
The Americans on the east coast can pop up to Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada and catch our tattoo at the east coast base. It’s really really great, too. P.s. 4th generation Canadian, two Scottish grannies and I grew up a proud Scott. (Proud Canadian too).
@HERSOREY1. its is spelled scot, not scott. 2. you are NOT a scot, nor would the natives in scotland consider you a scot. so stop refering to yourself as a scot, you are a Canadian,
C’mon Scots!That’s to good to be true!
2:05Pipes and drumms marching from a castle !What could be better.
Thanks for the definition.Bloody Well as you might say.
Originally ‘Tap-toe’ from the dutch ‘doe den tap toe’ (turn off the tap. When the British Army was fighting the French in the Low Countries in the C17th, Drummers were sent out in the evening to call soldiers back to barracks and to order pub landlords to turn off the beer-tap! Over the years in became an evening miliatary musical occasion. Regards, an old Brit.
