About Castle Of Light

Castle of Light returns for its fifth year at Edinburgh Castle! Discover the iconic site after-dark and enjoy unmissable immersive displays, interactive installations, music and wonder.

Make Castle of Light part of your festive plans and enjoy one of Scotland’s largest projection shows.

With an all-new show for 2024, you’ll walk in famous footsteps, dance through the ages in Crown Square and, for the first time since the 17th century, you will be able to “fire” Mons Meg! From mythical creatures to forgotten tales – see Edinburgh Castle in a whole new light .
