The massed pipes and drums prepare to march down the drawbridge of Edinburgh Castle on the first Saturday show (daylight). This is what it looks like behind the scenes as they go through the gates. The cloud of smoke is from a fog machine that fills the Castle gate with fog so that the performers emerge through an illuminated haze.
The trumpeters coming out a door at the side are coming from the castle ramparts, having played the fanfare at the start of the show.
Sorry, I cut this short close to the end. We had an issue with a light that needed checked out.

    I do not like military. And even when they will never really fight, I disagree to such kind of groupings. Today, here in my hometown in germany, there are such groups walking through the streets. I like the music but not the concept of demonstrating strength and unity with military gestures. However, interesting video.
