Edinburgh and the Tattoo

Last night we went to the Tattoo. Now, those of you who know me a bit will remember that I don't really like being out in the rain, and if you all thought very hard you'd find it difficult to remember the last time I willingly sat in the rain for any reason. Well, last night we sat in the rain for about 1-1/2 hours during the tattoo, and it was worth every minute!



The first photo is taken in the line-up to go in - you couldn't call it a queue, it wasn't that tidy - then we made our way through the gates up to our seats in the stand. The seats are not large, to say the least, in fact we were all quite cosy and close enough to each other that there wasn't much room for rain to get through at all. So although it rained for just about the whole performance we weren't soaked at all.







The second photo is the massed bands at the start of the show. I didn't take many after that because of the rain, but it might give an idea of what it was like.



If you ever have the chance, take it and enjoy it as much as I did!



Tomorrow we head off to the Highlands, then to Thurso from where we go to the Orkney Islands for a day. More to look forward to!
