Have you ever wondered if you are a 'Bad Scot'? If soor plooms, Mel Gibson's take on William Wallace, rickety recitals of Burns' poems and other things associated with stereotypical Jock culture thrive you recoil like a moggie from a festering puddle, you are not alone (except for the soor plooms part. No one hates soor plooms). But still, unfluctuating national spectacles are undeniably worth a look in. Case in point: the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo . The ponderous annual outdoor spectacle put on by the British armed forces and Commonwealth and international military bands and vaunt teams returns to Edinburgh Castle this August, showcasing culture from Scotland and around the planet.
