CATEGORY: HIGHLANDS & ISLANDS

Believe it or not, we have to order our tickets for next August's Edinburgh Military Tattoo by mid November, or they are all sold out!!! They are like GOLD in August!

For anyone not familiar with this amazing event every year, it is a 3 week long nightly show that is located on the Edinburgh Castle Esplanade, In August each year.

2010 marks the Diamond Jubilee year of Edinburgh's celebrated Military Tattoo. Against the world famous backdrop of Edinburgh Castle this landmark 60th anniversary production will feature awe-inspiring colour and variety from the four corners of the globe. Discover highlights of the event, details and facts about the bands and performers over the years, lots of details about Edinburgh Castle and our Scottish Regiments. Check out their website at www.edintattoo.co.uk

Another highlight of this tour for next August, is our day trip to St Kilda, The archipelago of St Kilda, the remotest part of the British Isles, lies 41 miles (66 kilometres) west of Benbecula in Scotland's Outer Hebrides.

Its islands with their exceptional cliffs and sea stacs form the most important seabird breeding station in north-west Europe. The evacuation of its native population in 1930 brought to a close an extraordinary story of survival.

Today, three organisations, The National Trust for Scotland, Scottish Natural Heritage and the MoD, work in partnership to further a continuing programme of conservation and research on the islands to ensure the care and protection of this World Heritage Site.

After years of searching, we finally found a company that does day trips to this amazing island, home to many breeds of birds and other wildlife.. So now CDT include a day trip to St Kilda on our unique Highlands and Islands tours each year... Definately Off the Beaten Track!!!
