Military spectacle draws thousands to Perth
The Courier.co.uk ^ | 21 August 2016 | Jamie Buchan

Perth kept the City of Culture launch party going with its own military tattoo.





Around 400 performers from across the globe took part in a scaled-down version of the Edinburgh Castle spectacular.

Thousands lined the streets to watch a procession of colourful troupes including the world renowned King’s Guard of Norway.

An arena was set up on the North Inch for an hour-long show.

The event was organised by Perth and Kinross Council to celebrate the 750th anniversary of the Treaty of Perth.

The historic document ended a bitter feud between Scotland and Norway.

As well as performers from Scotland and Norway, Perth’s first tattoo featured acts from as far afield as New Zealand, Canada and Nepal.

Much to my chagrin the domain I use to store music is down, so I post this YouTube vid to make amends.
