Though the Kiwi take on the traditional military tattoo has grabbed headlines here, the Festival also hosts the UK's largest annual festival of visual arts, including commissioned works, exhibitions and performances. One such work is this immense poem, carved in oak by Scottish artist Robert Montgomery and set alight on the first night of the festival.
