Edinburgh Tattoo 20-8-10

Walk around the river in Edinburgh.

 Edinburgh is packed with tourists for the Tattoo and Festivale. We had a good day wandering the city yesterday. Brenda went to the Museum and I went to the Art Gallery to see "The Impressionists Garden" Exhibition. This was the best exhibition with Monet's waterlillies Gaugin etc etc.
We walked around the river yesterday and it was very peaceful --away from the maddening crowds!

Great seats!!

Then we were back in them last night for the Tattoo. Crowds were packed along the Royal Mile----you had to wait for ages to get in but it was worth all the crowds and waiting!!The First Minister of Scotland spoke to me as he went to his box-----bit of a surprise!!

Massed pipe bands!!

It was just a night to remember--words are not enough for me!! Bit tearful in places as I loved it so much!! The bagpipes sure do stir the soul!! So I'll leave you with a photo!!
