Join us for a spectacular mix of music, pomp and ceremony that is the Edinburgh Tattoo. One of the world’s most spectacular shows, with almost 1’000 musicians, pipers, drummers and dancers perform in front of the magnificent backdrop of Edinburgh Castle. We will stay near the picturesque town of Melrose, located next to the River Tweed at foot of the triple peaks of the Eildon Hills; a distinctive landmark of the Scottish Borders. The area around Melrose is thought to have been inhabited for thousands of years with the Romans arriving in AD79 or 80 and building a fort nearby named Trimontium; 'Place of the Three Hills’. The Three Hills Roman Heritage Centre houses the Trimontium Museum which is dedicated to Roman life in Scotland. Melrose Abbey lies to the North East side of the centre of the town. With an abundance of independent shops and cafes, there is ample things to do whilst visiting this pretty little town.
