TICKETS have gone on sale for the spectacular Castle of Light show at Edinburgh Castle which yesterday unveiled part of the 2021 version that celebrates the hidden treasures of the country’s most popular paid-for tourist attraction.
The new show is set to put a spotlight on the lesser-known stories from Scotland’s past. Projections unveiled yesterday teased the re-discovery of the Honours of Scotland by Sir Walter Scott, the return of Rex the lovable lion rampant and a first look at some of the secrets of St Margaret, and the treasures within her chapel, ahead of the show’s launch in November.
Creative Director Andy McGregor, who is working on this year’s event alongside Double Take Projections, NL Productions and War Productions Ltd, in partnership with Historic Environment Scotland, said: “We are hugely excited to be back with a new show for 2021. There will be new takes on popular family features plus a whole lot more in the way of legend, light and sparkle.”
Edinburgh Castle will be home to the immersive walking tour for eight weeks throughout the festive season, from Friday, November 19 to Sunday, January 9.
More information can be obtained, and tickets are on sale now at www.castleoflight.scot.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
