Tattoo Donation

2-Nov-10
Colonel Roddy Wood, Chairman, and Captain John Harrison, Announcer, visited the Unit to present a cheque from the Inverness Tattoo Committee. Col Wood spoke of how well this year had been received, and the monies raised (which is all shared between the local SCC, ACF and ATC) was on a par with previous years despite increasing costs.

August 8th - 13th 2011 will be the 60th Inverness Tattoo, and we must all put in that bit extra to make this a grand affair.

The Tattoo is our biggest fundraiser of the year, and covers almost half of our running costs.

Inverness Tattoo

26-31 Jul 2010

The 59th Inverness Tattoo was as spectacular as usual. The week opened with a Tornado flypast. The Imps from London were back with their motorbikes, lots of Pipes & Drums, Dancing and other diplays. Our involvement was in the Guard of Honour saluting the various VIPs to start the show each night, the obstacle course competition against the Army Cadets and the Air Cadets, the Drill Display Team, and the Final Parade.

On Saturday night, the Juniors and Moray Sea Cadets joined us for the march through town, and the evening concluded with a fireworks display.
