Scotland.


Edinburgh.: SCOTLAND.:

A lovely card showing the massed Pipes and Drums of various Scottish Regiments on parade in Edinburgh Castle for the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo. This is an event that I have always wanted to see but have never been in Edinburgh at the correct time..There is something about the sounds of massed Pipes and Drums. My brother Barry represented Australia here in a pipe and drum band from Sydney.I think that would be a great experience. Thank you Lynette for sending me this lovely card .
