Just thought I would share this opportunity we discovered. We will be attending prior to joining our RS tour. It is smaller than the Edinburgh Tattoo, but gets excellent reviews. Tickets are not expensive, and there are several ways to purchase them linked to the website.

Thank you! Gotta get my tickets. There are Highland Game in Pitlochary that same weekend.
We went to this last year and it was nothing short of spectacular. Way more "Scottish" and localized than the one in Edinburgh. Get there early enough to wander around the grounds.
