Brigadier to lead Edinburgh Tattoo
Brig. Allfrey, 51, was commissioned into the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards in 1979 and commanded the regiment from 2000 until 2002.
He said: "I look forward to playing my part in taking the Tattoo to a new level and producing an imaginative public spectacle which showcases the very best of what our country's military and civilian musical heritage has to offer."
In recent years the Tattoo has celebrated huge success.
It sold out in the past six years and is worth 88 million to the Scottish economy.
