Day 16: Edinburgh Royal Military Tattoo

Visited Edinburgh Castle, caught the one o’clock gun and had a leisurely walk down the Royal Mile enjoying the festival atmosphere the is August in Edinburgh then back to the apartment to rest before having a great dinner at Vittoria on the Bridge and making our way back up the hill to the castle esplanade for the Edinburgh Royal Military Tattoo. It was a spectacular performance that we all enjoyed very much.
