Not only that, but the word "Tattoo" itself, which comes from the Dutch tap toe, which means to shut the taps off -- doe den tap toe. Drummers from British Regiments stationed in the Low Countries would march through villages each evening to give the command to return to barracks from the taverns.

This would happen around 9:30 each evening. (I have no first hand experience this as I avoided the draft in Holland) However I doubt that will happen at Fergus as we will just start getting into the bevies then...
