It’s filmed mid-year in a car park before Edinburgh Castle, but it’s a New Year’s tradition in Australia.
ABC1 will screen the Edinburgh Military Tattoo 2011 at 7:30pm Saturday 31st December.
This action-packed program of highlights features exciting displays and music from the Massed Bands of Her Majesty’s Royal Marines, the Brazilian Marine Corps Band, the German Mountain Army Band, the Dutch Mounted Bicycle Band and Fanfare Band and the Tattoo Highland Dancers from Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Being the principal service at this year’s Tattoo, the Royal Navy presents its famous field gun display on the Castle Esplanade – a time-honoured test of physical fitness and team spirit.
A particular highlight and favourite is the stirring music of the world-famous Massed Pipes and Drums and the contrast of the Lone Piper performing from high on the Castle ramparts.

Unfortunately I missed Edinburgh Military Tattoo 2011 & would like to know if it is going to be repeated at a later date?
Why are you showing it on NYE, never before to my knowledge. Huge mistake if you want maximum viewers. I have never missed it for years, but did tonight, very disappointed
Love it. Going to see it live in Edinburgh has been a highlight! Though I’m always confused as to why they show it NYE….
