my mum has recently passed away and it has become known to me that she loved " highland cathedral" as featured in one of many edinburgh tattoos.
however her husband has told me she loved a version sung by a choir around 1999/2000? i cannot trace this does anyone know of a choir singing this song at any tattoo please.?

thankyou bookbinder.....andre rieu, version is stunning and so is the choir version, however that choir is american so it couldn,t have been that one. but many thanks for your suggestions.

I couldn't find a choir singing this song at any tattoo. The only "choir" that sings it is a rugby team.

It was the Kevock Choir that performed at the Edinburgh Tattoo for about 11 years. I was in the choir at this time and I’m sure that one year we did sing Highland Cathedral but I can’t remember which year.

We first heard the pipe version when performing at the Berlin Tattoo in 1988 one of our tenors (sadly deceased) wrote words to the tune and we performed it first in the Usher Hall with an army band
