Here is the Red Arrows schedule for Scotland this year — all you need to know

THE ICONIC Red Arrows are making a triumphant return to Scotland this year for a series of stunning shows.

Ahead of their Scottish displays, the troupe will dazzle onlookers in places like London for VE Day and the King's official birthday celebrations.

It should be noted that these dates are correct at the time of writing, with the organisers explaining: "Dates and locations are subject to change, and further displays may be added at a later stage."

When are the Red Arrows coming to Scotland this year?

The Red Arrows are coming to the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo in Scotland's capital for a flypast.

The event will take place on August 9, with previous flyovers having also taken place around this time.

Find out more on the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo website.

There will also be some later shows near the end of summer, with the Red Arrows also making appearances at the Ayr Show Festival of Flight on September 5 and September 6.

Who are the Red Arrows and what can we expect?

According to the Red Arrows website, the group is one of the world's "premier aerobatic display teams" and has come to represent the "speed, agility and precision of the Royal Air Force."

The team is known for flying their "distinctive" Hawk fast-jets and is often seen in their "trademark" Diamond Nine formation.

Since their humble beginnings all the way back in 1965, the Red Arrows have also flown in frontline aircraft like the advanced Typhoon.
