Bagpiper Provides Fitting Soundtrack as Red Arrows Stage Spectacular Display Over Edinburgh

The Royal Air Force’s Red Arrows display team performed a spectacular flyover of Edinburgh’s Royal Mile on Monday, August 24, with this video capturing the moment – along with a fitting soundtrack by a nearby bagpiper.

The Red Arrows had originally been scheduled to fly over Edinburgh on August 15 as part of the 75th VJ Day commemorations, but poor visibility led to the flyover’s cancellation.

According to Edinburgh Live, the flyover was not widely advertised, but aviation enthusiasts had noticed that the RAF had filed a “notice to airmen” about the display earlier that day. Credit: Mikey Inglis via Storyful
