Edinburgh Military Tattoo 2009 (DVD) : The 60th Tattoo pays tribute to the 250th anniversary of the birth of Robert Burns and marks Scotland's first Year of Homecoming. Recorded live from the Castle Esplanade, this 90-minute, all-region DVD includes  all the best highlights of exciting acts from around the world. As always the Edinburgh Military Tattoo features the 'Massed Pipes & Drums' - their emergance from the castle a thrilling spectacle which is a perennial favourite with both live and television audiences. Always spine-tingling, always the thing that links Scots the world over with home....then, much later, another such moment - the playing of the evening hymn. In 2009 it is 'Abide With Me' , and, as the auld castle subsidea into darkness, the plaintive ' Last Post' followed, finally, by the faraway sound of the lone piper high on the ramparts. It may be a ritual but it is always poignant.

Just a few of the memorable acts include the Massed Bands of the RAF, The Top Secret Drum Corps from Basel, the Central Band of the Swiss Army, the Tongan Royal Corps of Musicians, The Calgary Burns Club Singers from Canada, and more than 100 Highland Dancers including 50 dancers from Australia.

In a dramatic finish, the Massed Pipes and Drums and Massed Military Bands join together in this year's finale for an emotional performance of Amazing Grace.

Edinburgh Military Tattoo 2009 (DVD) will play in any country.
