Bagpipes and drums will fill City Square as Dundee gets a taste of the world famous Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo.
The musicians and dancers will come north to Tayside for a one-off performance on Tuesday August 19.
The free event, starting at 12.30pm, will showcase over 600 performers featuring acts from Canada, Australia, Singapore, Malta and the UK.
The line-up will include music from the Trinidad and Tobago Defence Force Steel Orchestra, Highland Dancers, Military Bands, an Indian cultural troupe and the inimitable Massed Pipes and Drums.
Depute Lord Provost Christina Roberts said: “We’re delighted the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo is coming to Dundee with a free taster of action.
“Each year it draws in big crowds to its home at Edinburgh Castle and I hope the people of the Dundee will do the same on August 19.
“It is an honour to host the performers here for the afternoon which is sure to be a spectacular display.”
Royal Edinburgh Tattoo Chief Executive & Producer, Brigadier David Allfrey, said: “We are delighted to be able to provide both visitors and locals a chance to sample a complimentary flavour of this year’s Homecoming-themed production, for which some tickets are still available.”
The mini tour will also visit Glasgow and Stirling as part of the Scottish Government’s 2014 Homecoming Scotland initiative.
The 65th Royal Edinburgh Tattoo will be held at Edinburgh Castle between August 1 and 23.
