Day 33 August 13th Edinburgh and the Military Tattoo
Fay and I were up early e Tattoo.for an early getaway to Edinburgh; Fay was meeting with her niece Jessie. After about 1¼ hours we reached the outskirts of the City; quite a fast drive along Scotland’s motorways; our trust sat-nav then led us through a maze of streets to her place. After an hour of catch-up talk she treated us to a lovely lunch. After lunch we drove to Polmont to see Bills family home. We returned to Edinburgh and found our B&B right in the centre of the city. After our evening meal we walked uphill to Edinburgh Castle to watch the Military Tattoo. It was very colourful with the castle in the background its walls being used as a screen for an ever changing background for the many Bands from different countries. New Zealand performed a very good band which performed a haka as part of its repertoire. We all enjoyed the experience, especially the young 12to 15 year olds who performed on small motor scooters. The walk “Home” all downhill took ¾ hour. We retired for the night at midnight.
