Spectacle of Light

This year at Spectacle of Light, the pirates are taking over Fort Douglas! Dalkeith Country Park’s after-dark family experience is inspired by Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island, to celebrate Visit Scotland’s Year of Stories. Little adventurers can collect their very own pirate map and search for treasure through tunnels, down slides, along zip wires and over rope bridges. The whole family can enjoy interacting with a cast of characters reminiscent of this childhood classic story. All that after-dark adventuring can make for hungry pirates! Join the crew to toast marshmallows in the flaming field of fire or refuel at the Fort Douglas cabins. Hot chocolate, mulled wine and tasty treats are available ~ we can’t guarantee to prevent scurvy but will certainly keep the pirate crew energy levels up!
