You are invited to meet the residents and staff of the castle in 1905 who are discussing the origins and traditions of Halloween in Scotland. Mrs Mackay, the housekeeper, shares her memories of celebrating the festival of Samhain in the Highlands of Scotland. Mrs Reid, a keen photographer, is amazed by the work of some modern photographers using double exposures techniques. Meanwhile, Mr Barton shares some grisly stories from both Lauriston Castle and Edinburgh’s past! Lauriston Castle Costumed Tours Edinburgh Living History are our multi award- winning team, who interpret the history of the castle in a variety of entertaining ways in Edwardian costume - bringing alive the history of the house. Each performance is carefully devised by Edinburgh Living History to be as historically accurate as possible and include a touch of drama and a soupcon of humour. You will walk through the Castle on a special tour watching the performance unfold. Why not make a day of it at Lauriston and have some lunch at Mimi’s café on site.
