"Well Harry, the Military Tattoo is a festival held at Edinburgh Castle. The performers are military musicians, mainly using bagpipes and drums during their show. The festival takes place in the month of August each year. It is a very exciting event full of music, marching and fun."
"Harry, did you know that Edinburgh Castle has been here for hundreds of years? The castle was built on Castle Rock, which was formed after a volcano millions of years ago."
"Off we go! We are now walking down the 'Royal Mile'. The 'Royal Mile" connects Edinburgh Castle to the Palace of Holyroodhouse or Holyrood Palace. Holyrood Palace is the official home of the Royal family while they are visitng Scotland."
