The 2009 Edinburgh Military Tattoo celebrates over 50 years of music and spectacle set against the world famous backdrop of Edinburgh Castle.
The Edinburgh Tattoo is the most spectacular show in the world, enjoyed by an international television audience of 100 million.
But there's no substitute for being there, as part of the 217,000-strong audience over its three-week season on the Esplanade at Edinburgh Castle who don't simply watch the show but become a part of it.
The international flavour of the Tattoo has been deliberately developed as a key element in its capacity to entertain a huge, cosmopolitan audience.
From its early days, the Edinburgh Tattoo has been an international favourite. Performers from 40 countries have presented here, and around 35 per cent of the 217,000 audience each year are from overseas.
In addition, the Tattoo has been televised in more than 30 countries around the world.
