There are lots of frightfully good things to do around West Lothian this Halloween.
With the witching season fast approaching, attractions around the county have organised some spell-binding activities for all ages.
At Almond Valley Heritage Centre in Livingston things may seem a little odd. As Halloween approaches, tattiebogles of all shapes and sizes begin to act a little strangely, and you may find them in unexpected places, gazing at you oddly with their big tumshie heids.
They may make you shiver, (but hopefully they will make you smile), as you follow the trail that leads you past dozens of silly, scary, scarecrows who might have clues for you. Collect all of the clues, and a prize may await you. All around, there are seasonal decorations, lots of celebrations, and crafts to try out in the museum.
This runs until October 23 and again from October 29 to 30.
And if you’re brave enough you can also enjoy After Dark with the Tattiebogles, Friday Fright Night on October 28 and Scary Saturday Night on October 29.
At the Five Sisters Zoo at West Calder, Halloween is being celebrated with a party at Leaping Lemurs Soft Play.
