From its early days, The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo has been an international favorite.
Performers from over 46 countries have taken part in the Tattoo. It is performed against Edinburgh castle's majestic backdrop and features exciting contributions by Her Majesty's Royal Marines, Highland Dancing, the Bank of the Royal Regiment of Scotland and the world-famous Massed Pipes & Drums. A big favorite of the Tattoo is the performance of the Lone Piper on top of the imposing walls of Edinburgh Castle.
Now, on average, just over 222,000 people see the Tattoo live on the esplanade of Edinburgh Castle.
The Tattoo's link with the Castle are also significant. A military garrison until 1920, the Castle was a natural place to host the Tattoo.
The first Edinburgh Tattoo took place in 1050 and there were eight items in the program. The Tattoo is set up and run for charitable purposes. Over the years, it has gifted some 8 million Euro to service and civilian organizations. The word "tattoo" comes from the closing-time cry in the inns in the Low Countries during the 17th and 18th centuries - 'Doe den tap toe' (Turn off the taps).
