The Tattoo

We went to the Tattoo.  No, not the body art, though we have seen MANY of those on the trip.
The Scottish Tattoo is a Massive Musical March (caps ours).  This years theme was Voices.

Back in the days of the motorhome, we went to a Tattoo in Nova Scotia.  That one was great and we were excited to see the real thing here.  Expectations met and surpassed.  The venue is a huge outdoor facility abutting Edinburgh Castle.  

 Thousands of people are in the audience.  

Before the show, we chose to have a special dinner at the Whiskey Experience Restaurant.  We enjoyed talking to the couple from Belgium.  Jerry and Jeff enjoyed the steak while Anna Lee relished the vegetarian. 

The triple dessert was yummy.

Two Tattoo performers from New Zealand played on Maori instruments for us.  They also sang Happy Birthday to Jerry.

Out in the amphitheater, military bands from several countries performed.  

 

 

Dancers strutted their stuff.

 

Pipes filled the air.

The whole experience was exhilarating.
 

Here is what it sounded like.
