The horror, the horror: Ghouls and good times at events.

All manner of scary figures were out in Perth for some traditional, not so traditional and innovative spooky fun

Halloween horror continued in Perth at the weekend as ghosts and ghouls ran amok at the North Inch.

The Devil Dash yesterday morning attracted dozens of runners in fancy dress. They completed a 6.66 km circuit of the park, raising money for the Children’s Hospice Association Scotland (CHAS).

The city centre was decked out with spooky props for a family-theme Halloween event on Saturday night.

The creepy carnival featured live music, performances by magicians and displays by local dance schools. There were also games of apple dooking and pumpkin carving.

Stilt walkers led a colourful procession through the city centre streets.

Crowds also descended on nearby Scone Palace for a spine-tingling sound and light show.

The three-day event, which was a partnership with the group behind Pitlochry’s Enchanted Forest, was hailed a success.

Enchanted Forest producer Derek Allan said the palace was an ideal place for a Halloween experience. “It’s gothic and historic,” he said. “Perfect for an other-worldly sound and light show.

“We’ve had great fun working with the palace team to come up with a unique, interactive and thoughtprovoking tour.”

The All Hallows’ Eve Twilight Illuminations involved a 25-minute walk through the grounds and graveyard.
