As this is Scotland, I am guessing the disastrous weather was sunshine.
Winds at 35m/s (130km/h). The bagpipes would have been playing autonomously.
I went to Edinburgh when they did their Tattoo / Fringe / International festival a few years ago. It was one of the most fun I have ever had traveling. The energy of the crowds, the street fairs and food were amazing and then going to see tons of live comedy and / or shows was amazing. I want to go again and just try to see as many shows as possible especially some of the smaller ones. I might even be interested in going to see the Tattoo.
I have never heard this use of the word tattoo… even after reading the article lost.
Huh… Neither had I, so I did a search…
Apparently it comes from a Dutch phrase that got butchered into tattoo.

They could have just said band 😅
Thanks for the research 🫡
