On the run up to Halloween, I went to the Tam o'Shanter Experience, in Rozelle House, Ayr. It was based around the poem, Tam o'Shanter, and is a fun wee Halloween event, especially for kids. #halloween www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQpt...

Within the Luss Glen, you will find the Loch Lomond Faerie Trail. During October, it becomes the Halloween Trail. It's about a mile long trail, and at the end, there is the pumpkin patch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPCN...

At the weekend, I visited the Faskally Woods, near Pitlochry. While I was there I saw some of the lights shows for the Enchanted Forest. Even though it was still during the day, it still looked impressive. I want to go back next year, to see it during the darker hours www.youtube.com/watch?v=86dj...

Overlooking Paisley's High Street, there is the Oakshaws Trinity Church (also known as the High Kirk). As well as adding to the Paisley skyline, there is also a wee ghost story associated with the church. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzoL...

I recently tried to visit Yester Castle. It is a ruin within the Yester Castle. I must have taken a wrong turn somewhere, and didn't find the castle. There is always the next time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=naab...

I visited Wilsontown. It is the site of the first Ironworks in Lanarkshire. Unfortunately, most of the structures from the ironworks, and the related housing are no longer standing, but the site is now in the care of Forestry and Land Scotland. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OOg...

One of my friends tried watching it. She couldn't get past the first episode, it was that bad. I can't even bring myself to watch it.
While I was out exploring the Scottish Borders, I came across the Richard Hillary RAF Memorial. It is close to Greenlaw, and it stands as a memorial to Richard Hillary, who was a RAF pilot and writer, who lost his life in a crash close to where the memorial stands. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUM9...
