The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo is an annual event held nightly during August on the esplanade of Edinburgh Castle in the Scottish Capital.  Unusual name aside, the event is a month-long show of military and civilian bands, performers, and demonstration teams from around the world.  Drums and bagpipes from across the Commonwealth are featured heavily, as are various performers and regiments from non-English-speaking countries that have never been part of the British domain. 
These are photos from the 2013 Tattoo, which included performances from the massed pipes and drums, Mongolian throat singers, a Mexican mariachi band, an enthusiastic group of New Zealanders performing a war haka, and an incredible troupe of English motorcycle daredevils who were all under the age of 15.
