Ancient Forest Twi-Lights
If you’ve never been to Carrbridge, home of the World Porridge Championships, now’s your chance to rectify that. The Highland village, immortalised in recent film The Golden Spurtle, offers a Christmas lights trail in an ancient pinewood forest, complete with treetop path, UV light tunnel, laser show and marshmallow roasting pits, running on weekends throughout winter from Saturday 22 November into February. 
Visit the Landmark Park site.

Winter, Wonder, Wander
If the thought of a treetop light trail errs too close to the gorp life for you, head to Duthie Park in Aberdeen for a seasonal light display in one of Europe’s largest indoor gardens. Take shelter from the north-eastern winter between Peruvian cacti and Japanese cherry blossoms as this event brightens up the Granite City from Tuesday 4–Tuesday 11 November.
Visit the Aberdeen tourism site. 

Christmas At The Botanics  
Designed to complement rather than overwhelm the natural landscape at Edinburgh’s Botanic Garden, this year’s low-energy, high-art light trail features a new installation from Chicago sculptor Michael Young and a heart-shaped arch walk sure to satisfy any emerging influencer. Enjoy guilt-free festivities from Thursday 20 November–Tuesday 30 December, sure in the knowledge this is one of Scotland’s most sustainable light displays.
