Running until October 31, the themed event is back for its second year in the capital after its successful debut in 2021. The trail is open on selected evenings, with tickets starting from £11.70 for a child and £15.30 for an adult.

Lisa Robshaw, head of marketing and sales at the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland, said, "With even more light trails in and around Edinburgh over the festive period, Halloween gives our charity the best opportunity to provide something special and exciting for local people and visitors from further afield.

"It is fantastic to be able to bring Edinburgh Zoo Spooktacular! back this year with our partners at NL Productions and there have been some scarily good reviews from opening weekend already.

"Events like this are important for RZSS because we can reach a whole new audience to help a world where nature is protected, value and loved by providing critical funds and experiencing a deeper connection with animals.

"If you are wondering how wildlife conservation fits into a Halloween theme, I would encourage you to book a ticket to come along and find out."
