Dumfries soldier Lance Sergeant Jamie Bell had the honour of performing a bagpipe solo in front of 8,000 people at the opening night of the Royal Edinburgh Royal Military Tattoo.
The world-famous military show is staged on the magnificent Edinburgh Castle Esplanade and sees an incredible 800 dancers and musicians taking up to Saturday (August 24).
