Festival écossais Le festival « Military Tattoo » d’Edimbourg From a modest event in a park to today’s global showcase at the Castle This story began over seven decades ago and had humble beginnings. It was inspired by a simple show called 'Something About a Soldier' performed in 1949 at the Ross Bandstand. The bandstand is still there, in Princes Street Gardens just below the Castle. Lieutenant Colonel George Malcolm was the first Producer of The Edinburgh Tattoo. He aimed to bring the Army's contribution to the Edinburgh International Festival to life. In 1950 the first Edinburgh Tattoo (now The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo) took place. The production included eight items and attracted an audience of 100,000 over its 20 performances. Fireworks were first used at the 1950 production. From 1950 onwards the tradition of finale fireworks was born. Each year, the sounds of bagpipes, drums and military bands replay the famous battle tunes of the Scottish regiments. Organized each year as part of the famous Edinburgh Festival, the Edinburgh Tattoo is a unique and memorable celebration of music, dance and a military parade.
