One of Scotland’s most famous regiments will take centre stage at a huge celebratory event this weekend.
Soldiers from The Black Watch will perform at the first Highland Military Tattoo to be held in three years.
The three-day event which is the second biggest of its kind in Scotland will take place at the battalion’s base in Fort George, near Inverness from September 7-9 and is expected to be a sell-out.
The evening will kick off with a performance by a massed pipe band featuring the pipes and drums of The Black Watch, 3rd Battalion, Royal Regiment of Scotland; the Highlanders, 4th Battalion, Royal Regiment of Scotland and RAF Lossiemouth pipe band, along with other local musicians.
Highlights of the show include an RAF Typhoon flypast, an appearance by the oldest military band in the US, the Hellcats and a fireworks display.
Members of the Royal Regiment of Scotland and Royal Engineers will also perform vignettes depicting the building of Fort George, the raising of the Seaforth Highlanders and the recruitment of soldiers during the First World War, while Battle Scar Entertainments will recreate a battle between Government forces and Jacobites.
