Edinburgh Military Tattoo


Over the next week or so, I'll try and give you a flavour of all the various festivals that are happening in the city at the moment. As well as the Fringe which started last week, the International Festival kicks off this weekend, as do the Edinburgh Book Festival and the Film Festival. The Military Tattoo is always one of the most popular events during August. Performers are invited from all over the world and it truly is a spectacular evening's entertainment, all performed to the backdrop of a floodlit castle...fantastic!

I love this photo!
Seattle is also one big festival all summer long--usually two or three festivals every weekend in different neighborhoods. I guess because Edinburgh and Seattle can be so gloomy at other times of the year, we make the most of high summer! Wishing you continued sunny festive days,
