A first look at the Edinburgh Tattoo as it celebrates 75 years
This year's show is titled The Heroes Who Made Us and aims to blend military precision and cultural heritage to celebrate those who have contributed to the Tattoo over the past seven decades.
Its official opening night is Friday, August 1, but the first look pictures are from their dress rehearsal at Edinburgh Castle Esplanade in front of a preview audience.
The British Army takes the Lead Service role this year, joined by over 900 performers from across the globe featuring talent from Poland, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Ukraine, and the United States of America.
From choirs, marching bands and even drones take a look at the preview of the Edinburgh Tattoo.
