With Halloween just around the corner, we’ve taken a look in our archive to find some spooky photos of previous Halloween celebrations in Edinburgh and the Lothians.
We found great photos of Edinburgh youngsters out guising on the city’s streets and lots of pumpkin picking, apple dooking and dressing up. While many of the Halloween traditions remain much the same in the Capital, these photos will take you back to days gone by and help get you into the Halloween spirit.
