Castle of Light

In the heart of Scotland’s vibrant capital, the historic walls of Edinburgh Castle came alive with a playful reimagining of the city’s famous skating reverend, inspired by the iconic painting for this year’s Castle of Light. In a whimsical twist, the reverend’s head dramatically opened to reveal an ice dancer, who glided into a mesmerising ice-dancing sequence. This moment of fun and imagination captured the family-friendly spirit of the event.

Enhancing the experience further, we produced an interactive installation titled WHO ARE YOU, created in collaboration with Warpro Productions. This engaging feature invited visitors to discover which Scottish hero, whether from history, contemporary life, fiction, or legend, they embodied, adding an interactive, fun and memorable layer to the celebration.

Celebrating 900 years

This year’s theme was a nod to the Edinburgh 900-year celebrations, which marked the capital’s time as a city.
