Footage of the opening night(Thurs)of the 2007 Tattoo. The Massed Pipes And Drums close the show as usual,marching out to,of course the legendary Black Bear.
Traditionally, Tattoo was beaten through a town or city to advise soldiers it was time to return to barracks. Innkeepers were expected to stop serving them.
Over the years, Tattoo developed into a military spectacle, such as the Edinburgh Military Tattoo or the Aldershot Military Tattoo, with bands and sometimes searchlights to add atmosphere.
masavadu29 OK here is the Truth,,, a Tattoo, is a drum beat, played , to tell Landlords ie Innkeepers and all else, its the time to eject Brit military from your place of drink, and let them return to Barracks,
I was born in scotland. In highland times, any of the kings guards or groups were referred to as a tattoo. in highland times tattoos were intricate designs made by making numerous small pokes into ones skin using colorful needles. hense a group.
