Edinburgh

Edinburgh is Scotland's most dramatic and historic city. It's a combination of beautiful architecture, old and new tourist attractions including the famous Edinburgh Castle which is home to the Military Tattoo and is the host to a year round programme of various events guaranteed to cater to every taste and interest. It has something for everyone, throughout the entire year

The Edinburgh Military Tattoo is a fantastic display of music, dance, song and military from the countries of the Commonwealth. This is a once in a lifetime show, which gives a real flavour of Scotland. Highlights include, Highland Dancers, Tartan, bagpipes, the Lone Piper and Fireworks. It is very dramatic in setting and uses Edinburgh Castle as a backdrop. This is an experience which must not be missed. The Tattoo runs for the month of August only.

The jewel in the crown of the Edinburgh events calendar is without doubt the four-week arts and culture extravaganza in August known simply as 'The Festival'. This is something of an umbrella term because in fact, the capital plays host to a number international festivals which overlap and interweave throughout the month including the International Festival, the Festival Fringe, the Book Festival, the Film Festival and the Military Tattoo.

Collectively, these represent one of the greatest celebrations of the arts anywhere in the world, attracting audiences from around the globe to the city's thrilling atmosphere.
