The nights are fair drawing in and the season is definitely turning, meaning it won't be long until Halloween comes around. In Scotland, this is often a big deal and though in generations passed the humble tumshie (turnip) was our favourite way to make lanterns, the pumpkin has now become even more popular.
So, to make the most of this spooky time of year, there are plenty of farms up and down the country offering their own pumpkin patches for people to pick their own orange gourd for carving.
A great addition to the fun activity list to keep the wee ones entertained this autumn, you can take them along and let them pick out their own meaning it's even more rewarding for them.
