The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo

The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo

Set against the breath-taking illuminated backdrop of Edinburgh Castle, The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo is the biggest military show of its type which has been wowing audiences for over 60 years. Expect an unforgettable evening of music, ceremony, theatre and dance at the Edinburgh Military Tattoo with Caledonian Travel.

Since its launch in 1949, the Tattoo has developed into one of the world’s most iconic events, attracting an annual worldwide television audience of over 100 million and thousands of visitors to Scotland every year.

The thrilling 100-minute spectacle celebrates different cultures in a show-stopping event that’s packed with action, colour and edge of your seat excitement from start to finish. Take your seat early to soak up the magical atmosphere, incredible setting and buzz of excitement. 

Loch Lomond

Loch Lomond

Loch Lomond, the largest freshwater loch in mainland Britain, is a great place to get out and explore. Sitting within the Trossachs National Park, it’s surrounded by rolling hills, pretty woodlands, and small villages full of character.

You can take a boat trip on the water, enjoy a walk along the shore, or stop off at one of the lochside cafés for a drink with a view.

If you fancy something more active, there are plenty of hiking trails, as well as opportunities for cycling and water sports. Whether you’re here to soak up the scenery or get stuck into the great outdoors, Loch Lomond offers a fantastic mix of relaxation and adventure.

 

Oban

Oban

Translated in Scottish Gaelic, Oban means The Little Bay, and people remember this beautiful area for many reasons. Tourists love eating Oban’s fantastic seafood, admiring its breathtaking scenery, and immersing themselves in the town’s history.

And in summer, tourists love watching its spectacular sunsets.

Oban is the biggest town between Helensburgh and Fort William and is a popular tourist hub on the Northwest coast of Scotland that leads to many of the area’s surrounding islands and historic sites.

With its sweeping bay, beautiful harbour and stunning scenic views, Oban has been a popular visitor destination since Victorian times.

Did you know? Oban and neighbouring Lorn have a long and interesting history which began in the Dark Ages with Kings and Chiefs building castles and forts along the coast. In 500AD a powerful Irish Lord named Loairn established his Kingdom just outside Oban at Dunollie and gave his name to the district.
