Edinburgh Tattoo

The Edinburgh Military Tattoo began life in 1950 as the Army's contribution to the Edinburgh International Festival, then three years old. The programme comprised just eight items and in the first year there were no stands: the audience watched from the Esplanade itself. Stands for spectators first appeared the following year, but have grown since. Those in use today seat some 9,000 people and are constructed from over 10,000m of steel tubing and 20,000 nuts and bolts. For more information and photographs, see the Edinburgh Tattoo Feature Page.
