Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo Cunard Voyage

Overview

The event takes place annually at the iconic Edinburgh Castle, perched on Castle Rock, providing a breathtaking backdrop to military bands, drill teams, and artistic performances. Spectators can expect to witness a fusion of traditional Scottish music, dance, and international military pageantry, all set against the historic and majestic setting of Edinburgh Castle.
