Perfect symmetry ...

We have now finished our May spate of Murder Mysteries with the fantastic Edinburgh Living History at the healm. This has been the most complex Murder Mysteries we have ever done, but one of the best. Thanks to all the cast and visitors for being so amazing and entering into the spirit of things. We continue with all our centenary celebration events right up until Christmas.

We’re delighted to be welcoming back The Three Inch Fools to perform in our beautiful gardens this summer at Lauriston Castle!
Get ready for King Arthur and the Holy Fail - a brand new comedy packed to the brim with medieval mayhem. Expect heroic exploits, questionable chivalry, live music, and a lively flock of fire-breathing swans.
Saddle up - things are about to get legendary! For all the family!

This is our absolutely amazing team of costumed volunteers Edinburgh Living History. On Saturday they delivered their very first 1920s themed Murder Mystery. This fantastic team have been working on this for 8 months, has scripted it themselves, and Ben one of the volunteers, designed and made all of the female costumes from scratch. A tremendous amount of hard work goes into this behind the scenes to make things like this happen and we are blessed to have Edinburgh Living History with us as part of our engagement. They are dedicated. Huge thanks to Linda once again for holding everything together and thinking of every small detail, and aslo to Meg who looked after the sound production this year. Thanks to all of the public who came along and heartily entered into the spirit of things.
