Edinburgh Tattoo Breakaway
Experience the world’s largest military show against the backdrop of Edinburgh Castle on this thrilling three-day breakaway! The highly anticipated Edinburgh Tattoo returns on its 75th anniversary, with performers to the beat of heart-pounding music provided by military bands from across the globe. In addition to the main event, we have time to visit the famous spot for runaway couples, Gretna Green, to complete a fantastic trip away.

Included Excursions
Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo
After breakfast, we have time to spend at leisure. Then after lunch at the hotel, we depart for central Edinburgh where there’s free time before making your way to the castle to take your seat for the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo. The show brings together musicians and performers from every part of the world for a fabulous display of international culture. After the performance we travel back to our hotel.
Gretna Green
On our way home, we enjoy a stop at the marriage capital of the world, Gretna Green. In this famous village lies the original spot where young eloping couples would marry ‘over the anvil’ at the Blacksmiths Shop.

JG3
Hotels with a JG3 rating tend to be a more formal style of hotel, often part of a hotel chain, or are very-welcoming family-owned properties. Generally, they offer a greater range of facilities and services, and bedrooms tend to be a little more spacious with additional features. Public areas are larger and include lounge seating, bar and restaurant with good quality food served either buffet style or waiter service.
JG3+
JG3+ hotels typically enjoy higher levels of satisfaction on both online hotel rating sites and our own customer satisfaction surveys and may enjoy superior locations close to resort attractions or surrounded by spectacular scenery.
