00:00Well, it's that special time again this year for another Edinburgh Mini Tattoo.
00:09This year in 2007, the tattoo was definitely the most memorable and the best I'd ever been
00:16to.
00:39Pipes and drums enter the Mini Tattoo to the tune, Mary's Wedding.
00:44I'm sure you'll recognise many of the tunes along the way.
01:01Now one of my favourite tunes this year, Rainbow Country.
01:31I'm sure you'll recognise many of the tunes along the way.
01:59I'm sure you'll recognise many of the tunes along the way.
02:27I'm sure you'll recognise many of the tunes along the way.
02:55You'll notice the distinctive red tartan of the pipes and drums of a man here in 2007.
03:04I've seen them on several occasions, the Edinburgh Pipe Festival in 2005 and the North Berwick
03:11Highland Games.
03:13Every year, the Mini Tattoo takes place at the Ross Span Stand, which locals will know
03:17is in West Princes Street Gardens, situated beneath the Castle Rock and next to Edinburgh's
03:23famous Princes Street.
03:26The Mini Tattoo features several hundred performers from the main show, providing a number of
03:31free, open-air shows at the beginning of August during the festival fringe.
03:36The first show took place in 2004 and continues to become more popular every year.
03:54I'm sure you'll recognise many of the tunes along the way.
04:22I'm sure you'll recognise many of the tunes along the way.
04:50I'm sure you'll recognise many of the tunes along the way.
05:18I'm sure you'll recognise many of the tunes along the way.
05:46I'm sure you'll recognise many of the tunes along the way.
06:15I'm sure you'll recognise many of the tunes along the way.
06:40I found filming the event really difficult because there was a huge mass of crowds.
06:45I accidentally hit my rucksack into someone too while taking it off my back because there
06:50wasn't much room.
06:51If I'm going to film this event again, I really need to try something different.
06:56I tried filming the event in 2006 and I made a better film than the one before, but it
07:02still lacked something.
07:04Here I am now, in 2007, with the film which I think gives a better overview of the show.
07:34The
08:02first time I went to the Edinburgh Tattoo was in 1995, at age 6, and since 2004 I've
08:11been coming every year.
08:12I absolutely love the Tattoo, and I think the reason I love it so much is because I'm
08:17in love with Scotland, my home, and the music represents the whole country.
08:23The feeling of my home is strong, and that is why I come back every year.
10:23Tickets for the Tattoo at the Castle have been sold out since 1997, and I've always
10:46known lots of people who couldn't get a ticket.
10:50You do have to make sure that you don't forget to get your tickets as soon as the box office
11:54I got a massive fright when the one o'clock gun went off.
12:23Every year, without fail, I notice how the tourists also jump, as they're not aware
12:28of the gun tradition, of firing it at one o'clock every day.
13:58The
14:24show is full of Scottish music, another love of mine.
14:29As well as the pipes and drums, I also like the Highland dancing and finale, which makes
14:35the back of my hair stand up.
14:37The Highland dancers feature various colours of tartan, and they're made up of dancers
14:42from Scotland, New Zealand, Australia, Canada, and South Africa.
17:07The music of Highland dancing is another example of the sound of Scotland.
17:36The blue tartan you see here is called the New Spring Tartan, which was introduced in
18:36The Highlanders, a dance ensemble of Nova Scotia's Cape Breton style of step dancing,
18:51accompanied by one of the dancers, Ava MacDonald, on the pedal.
19:06That's it, that's it, that's it, that's it, that's it, that's it, that's it, that's it,
19:34that's it, that's it, that's it, that's it, that's it.
20:34That's it.
21:04That's it.
21:34That's it.
22:04That's it.
22:34That's it.
23:04That's it.
23:34That's it.
24:04That's it.
24:34That's it.
24:39The band now perform their marching display, which includes a variety of gimmicks
24:43and a few favourites, such as the song Sing, Sing, Sing.
25:04So
26:34so
26:49I really liked the sound of this song. It's very mysterious,
26:53especially with the trumpet solo. Many hours must go into practice before the band performs.
27:23So
29:53so
30:07so
30:38so
30:51so
30:55Now is one of my favourite tunes called Sing, Sing, Sing.

32:34You may recognise many of these tunes from the main show at the castle.

39:27Trinidad and Tobago are another of my favourites this year
39:31with their colourful and highly entertaining performance.
39:34They always bring a smile to my face
39:36and cheer up the locals from Edinburgh.
39:38We're used to the wet and windy weather
39:40so their presence certainly brings happiness to the city.

41:44Back in 2005, the band came and encouraged the audience to dance.
41:49I was too embarrassed to get up at first
41:52but went up and really enjoyed myself.
41:55There was also a limbo there.
41:57I wasn't quite brave enough for that though.
41:59I wish I had done it though.
