Edinburgh Military Tattoo 2010

For scale, no show in Edinburgh can rival the Edinburgh Military Tattoo. Literally hundreds of performers, both from Scotland and bands and organisations from abroad, gather under the dramatic backdrop of Edinburgh Castle. The series of displays combines breathtaking shows of military precision, often a battle re-enactment, military bands, including the mass pipes and drums.

Appearing at this Diamond Jubilee Tattoo will be South American musicians from the Republic of Chile, the Imps Motorcycle Display Team from London's Docklands - celebrating their 40th anniversary - bringing their high octane brand of motorcycle stunts.

There will also be a military contingent from New Zealand, and the Citadel Band from Charleston, South Carolina.
