Spooky fun at community Halloween event as witch turns up to surprise locals

The Castlemilk community joined in on a spook-tacular evening last week.

Locals settled into the Halloween spirit during the Cassiltoun Housing Association’s illumination event where plenty of pumpkins lit up the evening.

Castlemilk Park was full of ghostly greetings for those attending young and old who were trick and treated to an array of talent shown by the precise carving of pumpkins created by members of the community.

And the glowing entertainment continued when a special guest appearance from a wicked witch of Eureka Edinburgh turned up to surprise everyone.

Around 250 people attended the spooky evening where 200 pumpkins were on display.
