Taxi Drop-Off for the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo – Accessible Route Assistance
Kay’s Cabs provides taxi drop-off for the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, offering accessible route assistance for approved passengers with convoy access.
Planning to attend the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo in 2025 and require easier access to the Castle Esplanade? Kay’s Cabs offers a dedicated pre-booked taxi service to assist passengers who have been granted permission for accessible vehicle drop-off directly outside the venue.
Each summer, the Tattoo welcomes thousands of visitors from around the world to the iconic Edinburgh Castle. For those who find the uphill walk challenging due to age, mobility concerns, or health reasons, a limited number of drop-off spaces are made available through the Tattoo Office. If you are eligible and have been granted access to this official convoy, Kay’s Cabs can provide the final leg of your journey with care, reliability, and professionalism.
🚖 **Private Hire Taxi Service for Castle Access**
Our fully licensed private hire vehicles operate strictly on a pre-booked basis. If you've arranged access through the Tattoo organisers, we can drive you directly to the Castle Esplanade at your scheduled time. Our drivers are experienced, punctual, and know the route protocols for special event access.
We do not offer wheelchair-adapted vehicles, but our service is ideal for passengers who are ambulatory but require direct drop-off due to mobility issues or difficulty with steep walking routes.
📅 **Convoy Access – Important Information**
Accessible convoy access is managed by the Tattoo Office and is only offered on **Monday to Friday** performances. Please note that **Thursday 31 July and Friday 22 August 2025** are excluded from this scheme. If you or someone in your group has a mobility need, you must apply for a drop-off permit in advance. These spaces are limited and cannot be arranged by Kay’s Cabs – they must be granted directly by the event organisers.
