A memorable event

One of memorable events I remember is Military Tattoo in Edinburgh, Scotland. It’s an annual event which takes place every August and always is visited by thousands of people from many different counties.

When 2 years ago I was planning my trip to Scotland, I decided to go there at the beginning of August to have an opportunity to visit Military Tattoo. I’d read a lot about it in our school textbooks and I knew it was very popular and very spectacular but I was very surprised when I found that people started to buy tickets on-line in December or January. We were very lucky to buy tickets for the general rehearsal as they were twice cheaper than tickets for the other days.

Knowing it could be rather cold in the evening in Edinburgh in August we brought warm clothes from Russia. The day was dry and rather warm so we hoped not to be freezing at the show. The Tattoo took place in the square near the Edinburgh castle and the castle was the part of the show itself. It was lit in different colours and it looked like a castle from a fair tale.

Every year the theme of the Tattoo is different but, of course, the bagpipers are the main performers there.

Everything was amusing. The music was great, the dancers were wonderful and the troops from different countries were colourful and skilled. We forgot about cold wind, plastic seats, speaking people around. We were all absorbed in the show. The end of the show was great too. It was a beautiful firework just above our heads.

We were so impressed that the next year planning our trip to the UK we didn’t hesitate where to go. We visited Edinburgh again and we were at the Military Tattoo again. And it was as great as it was the year before. I wish I could have another opportunity to visit Edinburgh and Military Tattoo.
