I saw this mentioned in a tour brochure- all I know is it happens in August, but what is it exactly?
Basically its a display of military bands, demonstrations, and other performances. It is held each year at Edinburgh Castle. Have a read of the official website here:

"Edinburgh Military Tattoo
DUNEDIN — He's been called a legend. One of a kind. An energetic and passionate proponent of all things Scottish.
Alexander "Sandy" Keith, longtime leader of the Dunedin City Pipe Band as well as director of the Dunedin middle school and high school piping and drumming programs, died unexpectedly early Thursday. He was 76.
"The essence of our Scottish tradition was on full display whenever Sandy was around," said former Dunedin Mayor Bob Hackworth. "He really kept alive not only the piping, but the real Scottish heritage in every way."
Mr. Keith, born Jan. 19, 1936, in Scotland, told the Times in 2002 that he began piping at age 11 at the insistence of his grandfather: "I didn't want to play at first. But I'm sure glad I started."
As one of the earliest students at Scotland's College of Piping, Mr. Keith trained under several famous instructors, including Archie MacNeill, the famous blind piper, according to pipedrums.com.
At age 17, the website said, Mr. Keith moved to Canada, where he worked in the steel industry, joined the Royal Canadian Air Force and became pipe major of the Erskine Pipe Band. He is credited with raising the band's profile and teaching several famous pipers. His influence was widespread: He was president of the Southern United States Pipe Band Association for many years and frequently a judge at competitions in the United States and Ontario.
