    The Black Bear March is the traditional call back to barracks for all soldiers off base for the night. It is the piper’s equivalent of the Last Post, and hopefully it will be played at my own funeral after Highland Cathedral.

      It is indeed the "Return to barracks" tune, but actually "Flowers of the Forest" (Traditionally played by the lone piper on the battlements) is the piper equivalent of the Last Post. And what we hear on this clip is actually a medley, a mix of "Scotland the Brave" and "The Black Bear", which, again traditionally is played by the band of the pipes and drums as they (always the last to leave) leave the arena and set off down Castle Hill. What a shame the clip of the magnificent moment the pipes and drums come down Castle Hill is spoiled by some boorish comments by nearby spectators

      The whole Edinburgh atmosphere, throughout the August fringe festival, is almost as magical as an evening performance at the tattoo.
      Only problems, though, are the ridiculously high accommodation charges.
      Throughout August, the Travel lodge in Central Edinburgh, is over £200 a night, without breakfast, and it doesn't matter when you book, accommodation during the tattoo is frightfully expensive.
      Best answer, is to use a coaching tour, where accommodation, food and hard to obtain tattoo tickets are included.
