Lissy, Rebecca and Heather are back and ready to chat about Halloween Events for families and adults around Edinburgh!  Edinburgh has a uniquely creepy connection to Halloween with a rich history of ghouls and spooky architecture.  Burke and Hare history is discussed as are the atmospheric Old Town and the famous Edinburgh Vaults.  Did you know that the vaults used to be workshops under the South Bridge which were  subsequently abandoned due to damp and they were then used sometimes by criminals... and are VERY HAUNTED?
The mums go on to chat about Costumes (make them or buy them?), local pumpkin patches (Craigie Farm and Conifox), and family and adult activities around and outside of the city during the Halloween season.  In particular the mums discuss the ancient tradition of the Samhuinn Fire Festival: a unique, major local event that ties directly into the season on Calton Hill.  Will the mums shed their clothes and their inhibitions enough to participate this year?  Stay tuned.
Classic Edinburgh Haunts and Event are discussed including The Real Mary Kings Close, the Edinburgh Dungeons, and the Ghost Tour.  
What Edinburgh and environs Halloween events do you recommend?  Please send us your recommendations!  Also any adult Halloween themed cocktail recipes would be greatly appreciated.
As always, stand by for laughs, chat and setting the world to rights on this Halloween podcast!
