Scone Palace - Twilight Illuminations

For Halloween weekend, Scone Palace held a Twilight Illuminations event. It was a taster for a bigger and better event for next year, I believe. I was lucky enough to get a free invite, a perk of being a local B&B I suppose.  I understand the creative director for the ever popular Enchanted Forest event at Pitlochry was involved.  I enjoyed it, it was a crisp October evening and very busy. The lighting was very well done around the grounds with the highlights being the Graveyard and Moot Hill. There were actors taking part and my favourite was Lady Macbeth.

The weather finally broke yesterday after a superb spell of sunny, but cold days, who says it always rains in Scotland! Just 20 minutes down the road is Scone Palace where we went today as their was an antique fair on and the grounds were open with the snowdrops in full bloom. The Palace opens for the season on the 21st March.
