It was the second time The Citadel received a prestigious invitation to the international festival, the largest of its kind in the world. The Citadel was the first military college invited to the Edinburgh (pronounced Edin-bur-uh) Tattoo in 1991 and is the only military college ever invited to take part. Set against the backdrop of Edinburgh Castle, the Tattoo features musical talent and performers from around the world.
The Tattoo, which attracts thousands to Scotland, is broadcast to millions of people around the world by the BBC. Learn more through our blogs, photo slide shows and videos by clicking on the links below.
