The Rats of Tobruk Memorial Pipes and Drums was formed in 1960 as a 'Living Memorial' to the Military Units involved in the Siege of Tobruk of WWII, April to December 1941.

The Band has performed at the internationally acclaimed Edinburgh Military Tattoo in 1988, 1994, 1997, 2001, 2005 and 2008, and has had the honour to field three Lone Pipers for the Tattoo: Bruce McFarlane, Lois Cairns and Glen Craig. In 2007 the Band performed at the inaugural Russian Kremlin Zoria on Red Square, Moscow.

We're delighted to be invited to appear at the Basel International Military Tattoo in 2010 in Switzerland.
