The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo: Season 2021, Episode 1

2021 - 1: Celebrating 70 Years

Every August, thousands of visitors from all over the world come to marvel at the spectacular sights and sounds of the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo.

In place of this year's event, sadly cancelled due to Covid-19, this programme looks back at the Tattoo's rich 70-year history and revisits many of the standout moments. Featuring massed pipes and drums, and an international array of marching bands, military displays and dynamic dances, the show always draws to a poignant close with a lone piper on the ramparts of Edinburgh Castle.
