    Wondering if anyone is going or has been to;

    The 2012 Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo In 2012 (3-25 August), Edinburgh once again hosts one of the World's most spectacular entertainment events as The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo draws together a host of creative talent from four continents to pay sparkling tribute to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee and the year of Creative Scotland.

    Gordon! Gordon ?!

    While I'm not going, I look for one of our members to do so, and to report back to us with pictures. Gordon, do you hear that?

    Oh, no pressure then?!:D
    Only been to it once, back in 1985, but the atmosphere has to be felt. Good suggestion though, I'm about due another night out through there.:cool:

    So we can take it you will be attending? Gordon, a well written narrative of the event may give us a small glimmer of the atmosphere. I know you'll do your best.
    One of the top 10 things on my "bucket list" is to golf St. Andrews and visit Scotland. Maybe in another lifetime :(

    There's no pressure, Gordon, but we do expect extensive reporting.

    Listen, I must apologise chaps. I couldn't get a ticket for any of the shows over the last couple of weeks.:eek: Maybe next year.
    If it's any consolation, BBC1 will be showing the highlights tomorrow night and you'll be able to watch them after that on BBCi - BBC iPlayer - Search :edinburgh%

    No problem Gordon. We'll just have to wait. I'll sit right here.
