After living in Edinburgh for six years, my excuses for not experiencing the world famous Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo were running out. Being a fan of pipe bands and different music genres, I have no idea why I didn't decide to go sooner.
However, for the comeback performance, free from the clutches of the Covid pandemic and with the show's new Voices ethos, I decided to attend one of the city's biggest and most popular attractions. The date was Monday, August 15, darkness was approaching, I'm getting myself hyped up, I look out the window, and see, eh, that it's absolutely chucking it down.
Yep, only I could bypass a week of heatwaves and water scarcity warnings and land on the only night that so far that the heavens had decided to open. To add insult to injury, no umbrellas are allowed at the Tattoo, for obvious reasons of course.
