The annual event runs throughout the festive season at Edinburgh Castle from November 21 and transforms the iconic fortress into a stage of elemental wonder. This year’s spectacular after-dark walking trail is themed ‘Fire & Ice’ and fuses Scotland’s fierce spirit with its frozen beauty.
Guests will wander through a fortress of light and encounter mythical creatures, from a mighty dragon soaring across the night sky to the Ice Queen herself in the Great Hall.
