During the year of 2007, the Royal British Legion Scotland was involved in a number of commemorative events marking the 25th year since the Falklands War. I went along to two of these events in Edinburgh; a fly pass and music display on the Royal Mile and a Beating Retreat which took place at Edinburgh Castle.

In August 2007, I went around Edinburgh during the Festival Fringe with my Hi8 camera capturing the 2007 events. As I'm a student, I could not afford to go to events such as the international festival so produced my own program of events which were all free. The Fringe has started up another scheme called Free Festival which has a website displaying a list of shows which all cost nothing. On my festival trips, I went to the Royal Mile for watching street performers, attended the Fringe Sunday based in the meadows, the International Game Festival and watched a musical display in Edinburgh's Botanic Gardens.

As pat of my trip around the fringe festival events, one of them took me into Edinburgh's Botanic Gardens; it was the first time I'd been before and was blown away by the scenery and will be going back at some-point. This video is a musical tribute to the Zawose family who play their unique style of music.

Just me doing another blog after an eventful day getting my new boots.

Hi everyone, thought I'd give you an update of what is happening. Soon, I hope to get the swing of making more blogs but I don't feel like doing them just now, maybe I just don't like being in front of the camera but behind more; maybe I should do a Hitchcock. anyway, thanks for watching if you make it to the end.

In the first week August, I took part in the RYLA experience, a week long activity week for young people to help me to gain confidence and build leadership skills. I was sponsored by my local rotary club of Portobello to go to the centre in go to Loch Tay in Scotland. Here, I met some new friends and took part in a number of activities such as climbing, absailing, canoing, gorge walking, hillwalking, crate building, high/low ropes and of course the most bizarre experience of my life; the milktray exercise. For this, we had to deliver chocolates via a mission similar to an army one. We built rafts and sailed at 1:00am to an island and camped there after pitching in the dark. The next day we had to figure out coded messages and rescue a man up a hill by carrying him in a stretcher. This week goes down as one of the best and I will never forget it. While away, I managed to take a few photos although you can imagine why I didn't do a video. I also managed to find some more and show you how I saw the experience. Hope you like the music I used by Kevin MacLeod.

In August 2007, I took my Hi8 camera out again to film the annual mini tattoo over three days capturing the musical experience of the event and I now present it to the everyone in the world. The Mini Tattoo is an annual fixture in Princes Street Gardens, Edinburgh next to the Ross Bandstand. The Mini Tattoo is as it's name suggests a mini version of the main show that is staged at Edinburgh Castle. I put a lot of effort into making this film and it took a long time to edit. Here is a part of the extended version with the whole program style video lasting an hour.

Leith's festival kicks off with a mini tattoo, now in it's 6th year in 2007. The tattoo bases it's self on the Edinburgh Tattoo and features a mix of marching and fire displays this year. It took place down by Leith's shore and continues to attract more spectators every year. This film was a challenge to edit but now I've finished it so can share it with the world.
