This post is going to be different. A synopsis of our evening at the Tattoo, then just some photos followed by a few videos of the hundreds of photos and dozens of videos we took. Our evening began with a three course dinner at the Scotch Whisky Experience, each course accompanied by a specially selected whisky and an always filled glass of wine. Then it was on to the Tattoo stadium were we had seats at the end of the field with soft seats and backs. The Tattoo lasted two hours and it a true spectacle in every sense of the word.

Enjoy, we really did.

I never was sure what this was supposed to represent or exactly what it was. That is the weight in gold object, not the beautiful young girl standing beside it. Selfie just to prove that I was really on her Majesty's Yacht Britannia and that the Queen was there. Happy Bob. The Queens bed. She has her own quarters, and Prince Philip has his....
