The Edinburgh Military Tattoo is one of the most spectacular shows in the world, enjoyed by an international television audience of 100 million. Until now there's really been no substitute for being there, as part of the 200,000 strong audience over the three-week annual run in August on Edinburgh Castle's Esplanade. But today, for the very first time, the essential essence of the tattoo's colourful annual kaleidoscope of musical skills and visual thrills has been captured on DVD. This new 100-minute film complete with its exclusive never-before-seen special features now brings the magic of the Tattoo into your living room, forever. Containing excerpts from the last seven Tattoos (1996 - 2002) and including contributions from some awe-inspiring national and international participants, this programme is both a showcase and testimony to the timeless appeal of the celebrated Edinburgh Tattoo.
