The Enchanted Forest, one of Scotland’s biggest Autumn events, launched in style on Friday evening (19 October 2007) with a sound and light extravaganza that lit up the skies over Faskally Wood near Pitlochry.

This year’s event, ‘Creation’, sees visitors treated to a spectacular 10 minute choreographed sound and light show, with lighting effects being used to illustrate the earth’s history from its early volcanic state, the Ice Age and the Jurassic era right through to modern times. The finale of the show sees Faskally Loch take on the appearance of a modern day cityscape, with a series of artificial structures being created via solid blocks of light around the loch’s perimeter.

After the show visitors can follow the path around the loch and through the forest where they go on a kaleidoscopic tour of the seasons, before entering the aptly-named ‘mystical wood’, which sees light effects shining down from the tree-tops onto the pathway below, creating the magical effect of illumination from on high.
