Lighting check and raising of the PRG Icon Beam lights into position. They're on wind-up stands so they can be retracted below the wall during the day as Edinburgh Castle is a very popular tourist destination well worth visiting if you want a REAL non-Disneyfied castle experience. This is one of many layers of lights used in the castle for extra visual effect during the show.
All filming done by Captain Graham.

    I really enjoy these videos from behind the scenes. This one will make me visit Edinburgh and the castle one day, too. At the very latest, when Scotland's joined us in the EU again. 😁

    Wow I never realised how much much go’s into the lighting for the tattoo. Do you get to watch the show?
    I will get up there one year as a pipe band drummer that is one gig I have never been lucky enough to be on . Fantastic insight into how it’s all put together.thank you for a fantastic video mate 👍👍👍❤️

    Love these videos Clive! You get a real sense of what goes on behind the scenes. Across the pond, Disney Land at one point offered a tour of the complex workings under the park, and in tunnels etc. might be up on the Toobs somewhere. In fact, in the case of Disney, it was more interesting that the. public view of the park.
