I produced this video using my Hi8 camera after gaining permission from Alan Smith , Marketing Manager for the Edin Tattoo. It was a great opportunity for me which I will never forget listening to the sound of bands up close and from above. I recently re edited this video, shortening it down from an hour which included a behind the scenes look at the show which I’ve taken out as the footage slowed down the pace of the video.

Personal highlights over the years include the Trinidad and Tobago Defence Steel Orchestra, HM Kings Guard of Norway and the glorious sounds of the Massed Bands of the Royal Marines not to mention the Singapore Police Pipes and Drums which visited Edinburgh in 2008.

Programme of the 2006 British military tattoo edinburgh event, the Royal Edinburgh Tattoo:
For the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo of 2006, I went along with one of my friends which was before I even started a TV course as it shows. I shot this footage using my Cybershot P73 stills camera. Me and my friend were lucky enough to choose the night when Sir Sean Connery was attending the edin tattoo and got maybe ten metres next to him, so close yet so far.
The Edinburgh festivals Scottish Tattoo takes place every year in the month of August alongside the Edinburgh International Festival and Fringe Festival. The events Edinburgh spectacle generates millions of pounds to the Scottish economy alongside other festival Edinburgh events. 2006 was my 6th visit to the Tattoo in Edinburgh.
The word Tattoo came from the phrase, Doe den tap toe which in Dutch meant least orders. The British used the practise where it became a signal, played by the regiment’s corps of drums and pipes and drums where the tattoo military soldiers would retreat to their barracks at the end of a day. The first Edinburgh Military Tattoos were called something about a Soldier which took place at the Ross Bandstand at Princes Street Gardens in 1949.

The 2007 Edinburgh Military Tattoo was a fantastic mix of music and marching where I filmed my third Mini Tattoo, this time in Hi8 and for the whole performances. I’ve yet to do one in HD or Standard definition for that matter, hopefully things will change too.
The Mini shows are free to view and are an excellent addition to the main performance of the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo at the castle every night of the Festival during August. An average of 217,000 visit the tattoo on the esplanade of Edinburgh Castle each year. For the last decade, it has sold out in advance where 30% of the audience is made up from spectators from Scotland, 35% from the rest of the United Kingdom. The rest are from overseas.
The current Edinburgh Tattoo stands were first used in 1975 and have a capacity of 8 ½ thousand spectators. This year in 2011, new stands worth 16 million pounds will replace these aging stands which will allow some extra comfort for this world renowned event.
The Tattoo is performed every day of the week and twice on Saturday evenings in August. No performance has ever been canceled due to weather. The second performance on the Saturday evening includes a Fireworks display although some are used on the show not to mention the lumiere feature on the castle which was introduced and used since 2005.
Since 2004, the Tattoo has held free performances at the Ross Bandstand in Princes Street Gardens called the Taste of the Tattoo and in 2008, they also took place in George Square in Glasgow. The Tattoo has toured around the world including New Zealand in 2000, Australia in 2005 and Sydney again in 2010.
This year’s Military Tattoos Massed Pipes and Drums are made up of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards, the Royal Corps of Signals, the Black Watch, 3rd Battalion The Royal Regiment of Scotland, 2nd Battalion, The Royal Gurkha Rifles, Scottish Universities Officers Training Corps, The Auckland Police, The Royal Caledonian Society of South Australia and the Royal Army of Oman.
The UK 2007 Scottish Tattoo will always stick in my mind more than others after having a spectacular opportunity to watch the show from bottom of the East stand while filming and high up on the scaffolding for the finale where the hairs on my back went up. I felt a deep feeling of love for the music and felt proud to be Scottish. I can’t describe it with a few words, you would have to be there to really understand. One of the best feeling anywhere.
The word tattoo originated from Doe Den Tap Toe which means last orders where the British Army each night would signal for the troops to head back to their barracks. It was a term used to describe the last duty of the day and was turned into a form of evening entertainment performed by Military musicians. The first Tattoo in Edinburgh entitled Something About a Soldier took place at the Ross Bandstand in Princes Street Gardens in 1949. The first official Military Tattoo began in 1950 with just eight items in the programme. This drew some 6,000 spectators seated in simple bench and scaffolds. 1952 saw the capacity of the stands increased to hold 7,000 spectators.

Antonin Dvorak 9th Symphony.
The story is told that Dvorak first heard this tune sung by the slaves during his trip to America. He then returned to Czechoslovakia and composed the New World Symphony, which included this melody, as part of his impressions of the ‘New World.’
“Going Home”
Going home, going home,
I’m just going home.
Quiet-like, slip away-
I’ll be going home.
It’s not far, just close by;
Jesus is the Door;
Work all done, laid aside,
Fear and grief no more.
Friends are there, waiting now.
He is waiting, too.
See His smile! See His hand!
He will lead me through.
Morning Star lights the way;
Restless dream all done;
Shadows gone, break of day,
Life has just begun.
Every tear wiped away,
Pain and sickness gone;
Wide awake there with Him!
Peace goes on and on!
Going home, going home,
I’ll be going home.
See the Light! See the Sun!
I’m just going home.
