Edinburgh Tattoo & Scenic Loch Cruise

The sound of bagpipes and the pageantry that defines the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo can send shivers up your spine. This fabulous spectacle is back and we can take you there to enjoy it. The 2024 Show, “Journeys”, will take you on a journey through time, celebrating the tides of change, including Tattoo favourites, from the magnificent sounds of the Massed Pipes and Drums to the emotive Lone Piper alongside the culture and vibrance of an international cast.

With a unique ability, through its performers, music, and setting, to evoke the emotions and stir the senses like nothing else, the Tattoo will wow audiences once again. Experience the exceptional mix of military precision, awe-inspiring dance and sparkling musical entertainment, intertwined with state-of-the-art projection, lighting and exciting creative elements.

You’ll be staying at the comfortably furnished Rob Roy Hotel in Aberfoyle, conveniently located with easy access to Edinburgh and the Trossachs. That location is important because it means that as well as taking you to the Tattoo, we are perfectly placed to take you on delightful scenic tour of the Trossachs, including a beautiful cruise on Loch Katrine. This is a lovely little tour that will fill you with happy memories…

An ideal choice for:

* Lovers of Military displays and pageantry
* People looking to enjoy a quick taste of Scotland at a great price
* Anyone that enjoys taking a holiday with others and making new friends

The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo is Scotland’s biggest, bestselling outdoor spectacle. The venue itself is situated in the most popular part of the city on Edinburgh Castle’s doorstep, high above the skyline. For this reason, customers with limited mobility, those with heart or respiratory problems and those that suffer from vertigo, may find access more challenging. There will be a minimum of 55 steps to reach the seats. Please contact us prior to booking to discuss any particular requirements. Images credited to The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo
