NCM Attend The Edinburgh Military Tattoo
September 2025

Chris Ruark and Douglas Graham were delighted to host some clients at the Edinburgh Military Tattoo last month. In its 75th year the performance did not disappoint with highlights including the spine-tingling Massed Pipes & Drums; Scottish Highland Dancers; the Ukrainian Naval Forces Band playing for the first time outside of Ukraine since war broke out and the Swiss Top Secret Drum Corps to name but a few.
In total there was over 1000 performers from numerous countries bringing the countries represented since the first Tattoo to over 50. The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo Company itself is a charity and has gifted over £13 million to both military and arts charities in the UK since inception.
The evening also celebrated the 900th anniversary of Edinburgh and the 80th anniversary of VE and VJ Days. As ever Edinburgh comes alive in August and we love to welcome the many clients who use it as a good excuse to come for a site visit and combine with some Festival action too!
