Superb Summer Festivals in Edinburgh - and Don't Forget the Tattoo!

Flights to Edinburgh during August will be carrying many participants and spectators on their way to the Edinburgh Military Tattoo, Renowned for drawing visitors from all over the world since it was first staged in 1950, the 2009 event will host a triple celebration. Not only will The Tattoo celebrate the 250th anniversary of the birth of Scotland's national bard, Robert 'Rabbie' Burns, it will host Scotland's first ever Homecoming Festival, and also celebrate its own 60th staging of the event.

The last big event of the summer is the Edinburgh Fringe Festival which starts on the same day as the Tattoo, but extending to the end of August. A hotbed of British comedy, many well-known comics and actors, and those unknowns hoping to break it big, put on a variety of performances all over the city.
