Emma Edinburgh Castle is set to shine this Friday as Scotland rugby stars Matt Currie and Adelle Ferrie officially switch on the spectacular Castle of Light: Fire & Ice for its opening evening.
Currie and Ferrie will kick off an evening of magic, myth and mesmerizing light as Castle of Light returns to illuminate the city’s skyline.
Now in its sixth year, the dazzling after-dark experience will run on select evenings from Friday 21st November 2025 to Sunday 4th January 2026, promising dramatic projections, immersive soundscapes and fantastical installations, all set against the backdrop of one of Scotland’s most iconic landmarks.
Drawing inspiration from the forces of fire and ice, visitors will encounter mythical creatures from a dragon soaring over the ramparts to the Ice Queen herself in the Great Hall, as the Castle’s stories — shaped by volcanic fire and icy resilience — come alive like never before.
Brought together by a consortium of the finest digital and visual talent in Scotland, in partnership with Historic Environment Scotland, Castle of Light seamlessly blends cutting-edge creativity with centuries of history, making it a must-see highlight in Edinburgh’s festive calendar.
Limited tickets remain for the opening weekend and peak festive nights throughout the event run. For more information and to get your tickets, visit www.CastleofLight.scot
