EDINBURGH MILITARY TATTOO, BY RODDY MARTINE Foreword by HRH The Princess Royal.

This official guide of the Edinburgh Military Tattoo tells the story of a world-famous pageant from the earliest days to the present and, illustratedthroughout in glorious colour, is the indispensable souvenir to the historic
event.

For over fifty years the Edinburgh Military Tattoo has thrilled and dazzledvisitors to Scotland’s capital, not to mention the Scots who loyally turn outannually with their families.

Roddy Martine brings the Tattoo to life from the first displays at the castleand in Princes Street Gardens to the international spectacle it is today. The theme of those first displays was ‘There’s something special about a soldier’.

In words and pictures Roddy Martine captures the atmosphere that gives the Tattoo its special appeal.

Times have changed, but the public’s appetite for pomp and circumstance remains undiminished.The enormous following enjoyed by Edinburgh’s Tattoo goes to prove that for a large number of people aIl over the world there is still ‘something about a soldier’.

A percentage of the profits from the sale ofthis book will be donated to the Army
Benevolent Fund.
