Scotland offers a lot more than just beautiful sights, lovely castles and interesting architecture. It is the annual Edinburgh Festival that attracts hundreds of thousands of tourists every year. Alone in 2010, ticket sales were over £2.67 million - a staggering 3% more than last year (Scotsman.com, 6/9/2010).
The Edinburgh Military Tattoo is one of my favourite events during the festival. Tickets usually go on sale at the beginning of December so if you are interested in attending, buy your tickets as soon as the box office opens as they are sold out very quickly (especially the Saturday night performances at 10.30pm because of the fireworks).
John and I went to the Military Tattoo this year and it was amazing! This was the fourth time I attended and it is always exciting and a real pleasure to be part of it.
If you plan a trip to Edinburgh, try to come during the festival time in August. The Military Tattoo will take place from 5-27 August 2011. Book your flights and accommodation early as the prices will rocket during this period of time and early birds might pick the best hotels for less. 
To give you a bit of an idea of what to expect, have a look at the Edinburgh Military Tattoo website and check out my photos which I usually place on facebook. Unfortunately our seats were at the back, quite far away from the happening and therefore the photos might not be as good as I hoped for but they will give you a good idea of what's going on during the show.
