From the Royal Edinburgh Tattoo to a Call-Out in Galashiels
Posted by Hirst Locksmiths | Danny Hirst | Earlston, Scottish Borders, TD4 6ET | 07399 574282
A Special Night at the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo 🎖️🎇
Last night, Danny Hirst, owner of Hirst Locksmiths, and his wife had the honour of attending the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo — a world-famous celebration of military music and tradition, now in its 75th year.
Danny was invited as a guest of Major General Bob Bruce CBE DSO, who hosted them for a reception and meal at the Officers’ Mess. The evening continued with front-row seats in the Royal Box, offering a spectacular view of the show.
It was a night full of pageantry, tradition, and Scottish pride — an unforgettable experience for Danny and his wife.
Business as Usual: Emergency Call-Out in Galashiels 🔐
The next morning, it was straight back to business.
A local business in Galashiels (TD1) contacted Danny after experiencing issues with a door lock that had completely failed. Danny responded quickly, secured the property, and arranged for a replacement lock to be installed the following day.
Fortunately, the premises had an alternative entry point, so operations could continue without disruption.
