A spook-tacular wonderland for youngsters will be created at Dalkeith Country Park to celebrate Halloween.
Fort Douglas is set to be transformed into a haunted playground with plenty of ghosts, witches and pumpkins for children to discover and have fun with between Friday and Tuesday, October 27 and 31 October, writes Imogen Lovie.
Children are also encouraged to dress up as the park will be awarding prizes to the best fancy dress costume each day.
A range of fantastic Halloween-themed games will also be available for all families to enjoy on Saturday and Sunday, October 28 and 29. The fun games include Pin the Boo on the Ghost, Pumpkin Beanbag Toss, Witches Hat Ring Toss and Pumpkin Noughts and Crosses.
