A Call to Gather invites audiences to unite at The Edinburgh Castle Arena for an unforgettable evening of spectacle, storytelling, and celebration.

With the Royal Air Force as the lead service, the 2026 Tattoo will honour the power of connection, and the role culture plays in bringing us together.

Last Sunday, we ran our very first Highland Cow Farm Experience from Greenock… and it couldn’t have gone better.

6 guests joined us on the morning session and had a fantastic time meeting the fold (that’s the name for a group of Highland cows), learning about Scottish farming and rural life, and getting up close to the farm’s animals, including the hard-working sheepdogs.

A truly authentic experience and a brilliant start for this new excursion.
