In this 75th-anniversary spectacular from Edinburgh Castle, the theme The Heroes Who Made Us is celebrated with familiar favourites, some great surprises and an array of international talent, introduced from the esplanade by a storyteller for the first time. \n\nThe Massed Pipes and Drums, Tattoo Fiddlers and Highland Dancers provide an impressive showcase of the very best of Scottish culture against a backdrop of stunning imagery that captures 75 years of the tattoo and includes a celebration of Edinburgh’s 900th anniversary.\n\nThe Army’s Massed Military Bands entertain with an expansive musical repertoire, and the Orchestra of Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the US Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps make their tattoo debut. Also joining the international line-up are the Representative Band of the Polish Border Guard, the USAF Honor Guard Drill Team and Swiss precision drummers Top Secret Drum Corps. A climactic choral piece and the lone piper precede a dazzling finale to the show.\n\nCommentary is provided by JJ Chalmers and Jennifer Reoch, and the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo’s patron, HRH the Princess Royal, shares her passion for the event.
