The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo was originally born out of the Second World War with the aims of raising morale after dark times, entertaining and bringing people together and the Charity will continue to uphold these original values.
Creativity is our lifeblood. We pride ourselves on presenting tradition with a modern twist. Celebrating British Military, Scottish heritage and international culture with world-class lighting projections and cutting-edge sound technology set against the impressive backdrop of Edinburgh Castle.
'A Call To Gather' will continue to innovate while honouring tradition, bringing together allies and friends from home and abroad in a production that embodies the Tattoo’s unique ability to convene cultures.
