Organisers of the RBS Inverness Highland Tattoo have increased the seating capacity for the four night spectacular (25 – 28 July) to be held at Fort George due to fantastic demand for tickets.

For this year only the RBS Inverness Highland Tattoo, a full international Military Tattoo, the first of this scale to be staged in the UK outside of Edinburgh, takes place in the spectacular and dramatic setting of Fort George. This one off event at such an impressive military establishment and the stunning world class line up has led to an unprecedented demand for tickets.

Over 300 performers from around the world including The Royal Army of Oman Pipes and Drums, The Pipes and Drums of the Black Watch, the Golden Lions Parachute Display Team, The Pipes and Drums of The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards, The Imps Youth Motorcycle Display Team, The Inverness Highland Ceilidh Dancers and Military Bands, the Band of the Royal Regiment of Scotland, The Lowland Band of the Royal Regiment of Scotland and The Royal Signals Northern Band will take part in the RBS Inverness Highland Tattoo’s spectacular programme.

The Inverness Tattoo, one of the longest running Tattoos in the world, is now in its 57th year. For Highland 2007, this special year celebrating Highland culture, Unique Events and the Inverness Tattoo Committee, with assistance of The Edinburgh Military Tattoo, have worked together to create an exceptional show not to be missed.

Support for the RBS Inverness Highland Tattoo was received from the Royal Bank of Scotland, Highland 2007 and EventScotland. The co-operation of the Army in Scotland and Historic Scotland also helped to make this event possible.

Tickets for the Tattoo are priced £15 (£10 for children under 12). A bus service will operate from Inverness to Fort George for every performance, tickets are £4 return, and £2 return for children under 16 and OAPs - for full details see www.invernesshighlandtattoo.co.uk
