Edinburgh's dramatic castle provides a spectacular back-drop for the world famous Tattoo, which this year, 2010, celebrates 60 years of massed pipes and drums and marching military bands.

It promises to be bigger and better than ever, with a truly international flavour, including, among others, South Africa's Transvaal Scottish, the South Australian Pipes and Drums, South Carolina's Citadel Band and, from closer to home, Imps Motorcycle Display Team, from London's Docklands and the prestigious Military Band of the Coldstream Guards.

This mid-week tour is based in the 4 star Hilton Strathclyde Hotel which is just a short drive from Edinburgh. The tour combines tickets for the Tattoo with a full day free in Edinburgh.
