A school music tour to Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, offers your students the opportunity to explore the musical heritage of the country and perform to some of the most welcoming audiences in the British Isles!
You’ll have a choice of unforgettable venues for your performances, from the historic St. Giles’ Cathedral, to the Botanical Gardens and the spectacular Stirling Castle. And when you’re not performing, you’ll be able to explore this beautiful city, making sure to include visits to its iconic castle and the famous Royal Mile.
Edinburgh is a wonderful place to visit with your ensemble at any time of year, but during August you’ll have the opportunity to choose to attend the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo.
