City of Invercargill Caledonian Pipe Band at the 1998 Edinburgh Military Tattoo.

The band not only played with the massed pipes and drums of the Scottish regiments, but also performed a special marching display with City of Dunedin Pipe Band to mark 100 years of European settlement in the Otago Southland region of New Zealand.

In 2000 the City of Invercargill Caledonian Pipe Band again paraded at the tattoo but this time in Wellington, New Zealand as part of the New Zealand Festival. It was the first time the tattoo had been staged outside of Scotland. A huge castle replica was built in Wellington's Trust bank Stadium and the performance attracted over 20000 people.
