A Halloween family trail event is coming to Abbotsford, the home of Sir Walter Scott.
Following a successful first year in 2023, the trail will run from October 1 to November 3 this year in Abbotsford’s supernatural sculpture trail, Witch Corner.
Seasonal Halloween decorations and light and sound installations will accompany the trail's existing folklore-themed sculptures.
The trail will also include a children's Halloween activity sheet, which can be handed in at the end of the trail in exchange for an edible prize.
Witch Corner first opened in April 2023 and is themed around Scottish legends and folklore from the writings and research of Sir Walter Scott.
The name Witch Corner comes from the nickname that Scott gave to the section of his library which contained books on witchcraft and demonology.
The permanent sculpture trail, open all year round, features 12 story stops, play areas, an activity booklet, and a ‘Curator’s Cauldron’ audio guide for adults and older children.
Julie Merrilees, commercial manager at Abbotsford, said: "We’re delighted to be bringing our family Halloween trail back to Witch Corner after the success of our first event in 2023.
"This year’s trail will feature new sound and decorative installations.
"We can’t wait to welcome visitors from across the Borders and further afield to enjoy this fantastic family activity."
Halloween at Witch Corner is from 10am to 5pm, October 1 to November 3.
