The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo

I thought I would share Our Edinburgh Tattoo experience today; I booked the tattoo under extreme duress, I just wasn't sure if it was really my cup of tea. However the boys adore the army, soldiers and castles so we knew they would absolutely love it. But wow, how wrong could I be, the whole event is just breath taking.




















We were so lucky that the weather was glorious when we arrived in Edinburgh so we headed to TGI Fridays for a quick lunch had a wander on Princess Street. Then spent the afternoon sunbathing in the gorgeous park that surrounded the castle, it was so cosmopolitan, I had never visited Edinburgh before, I don't know what I expected but it wasn't this sunny, trendy, city with the most amazing atmosphere. 






We were fortunate that the Edinburgh fringe festival was just about to start so there were street entertainers on most corners, as we  meandered up to the castle, we visited the occasional wine bar and stopped to watch the odd street performer. If our day had stopped there is would have been a fantastic day.
