The show, Oir an Uisge, which is Gaelic for Edge of the Water, uses state of the art lighting technologies and features exciting new artist installations.

Scottish folk music and orchestral sounds of strings, percussion and harps will ring throughout the forest too.

Celebrating their 16th year, the month-long event, is set to attract a record breaking 72,000 visitors who get to walk around the magical surroundings.

Ian Sim, chairman of The Enchanted Forest Community Trust, which operates the event, said:
“It’s phenomenal to see how much The Enchanted Forest event has grown in its 16 years. It began as a three-night event with 1500 visitors.

“Today it’s one of Scotland’s, and the U.K.’s, must-see Autumn happenings.

“Thanks must go to the brilliant creative time and producers of the show, as well as our very talented operations team, all of whom make Faskally Wood come alive every October to be transformed into an enchanted forest.”
