What a night. 🐺

We absolutely loved being part of Stirling Culture Night: Carnival of the Wolf on Friday evening.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our three true historical crime tours, The Wolf in the Fold, led by our formidable hangman. It was brilliant to welcome so many people through the doors, share some of Stirling’s darker stories, and see the Old Town come alive after hours.

Thank you also to the organisers for creating such a special evening across the city. The whole town was buzzing, with feathers, flower crowns, lanterns, music, performance and a real sense of celebration everywhere you turned.

Events like this are such a lovely reminder of how much creativity, history and community Stirling has to offer and we were very proud to play a small part in it.

Thank you to everyone who came along, asked questions, braved the tales, and helped make the night so memorable.

Until next time… watch out for wolves in the fold.
