I was brought to tears by the pipers. It is a spectacle not to be missed if you’re in Edinburgh at tattoo time. Powerful performances all around. There was quite the variety of performers from all over the world and the show went on for about an hour and a half.
The show is held outside and depending where you are sitting in the stands it can be fairly windy and cool, so dress for the weather. While we had decent weather we were told that the tattoo goes on rain or shine, so water gear may be essential. Truly a sight to see. If you’re debating when to visit Scotland I would highly consider to work your vacation around the tattoo.
