Set against the backdrop of Edinburgh’s magnificent castle, the Military Tattoo is one of the most iconic events in Edinburgh’s calendar. Each year it brings together a host of international performers, military & civilian, from over 48 countries.

NOTE: We do not return to the hotel until after the show. Dinner is not included tonight.
It will be a long day today, so we recommend comfortable shoes. We’ll travel into Edinburgh.
First we will drop off those wishing to spend the full day in the city centre for all the festivities.
The coach will then go out to Leith, where you can visit the Ocean Terminal Shopping Centre or perhaps visit the Royal Yacht Britannia which is tied up here.
In the afternoon, we will travel from Leith back into Edinburgh for some free time to enjoy the atmosphere and festival activities.
Due to strict parking regulations at this busy time please listen carefully as our driver gives instructions of what time and exactly where in the city we must re join the coach (usually Waterloo Place at 18:45).
We must then move to our dedicated parking area in Chambers Street for the evening.
This is our dedicated drop off point and the coach must remain here until the conclusion of the Tattoo.
Please ensure you return to this point after the event tonight.
Time then to join the throng of visitors all making their way up to the Castle for the 21:00hrs show.
