点评:Traquair House — Scotland’s oldest inhabited house — takes on a whole new kind of magic during its Light Trail. As night falls, the historic grounds are transformed by glowing installations, twinkling pathways, and creative light displays that bring the gardens and ancient trees to life.
We wandered through illuminated tree tunnels, watched colours dance across the stone walls of the house, and followed spooky cackles through the forest as the lights shifted and sparkled around us. It’s a perfect blend of history and imagination — every corner reveals something new, from glowing glowing spiders to a dancing disco ball.
The event is beautifully organised, family-friendly, and has a truly enchanting atmosphere. The car park is pitch black - and for me whi relies on light for spacial awareness this because an issue when I slammed the car boot down on my head. Be careful walking down the road to the initial gazebo area - my kids fell multiple times because it was too dark to notice the speed bumps and other changes in the road surface level.
Whether you come for the history, the artistry, or just a dose of Halloween magic, the Traquair House Light Trail is one of the most memorable seasonal events in the Borders — cosy, creative, and completely spellbinding.

我们漫步在灯火通明的树洞中,欣赏着色彩在房屋石墙上翩翩起舞,随着灯光在我们周围变幻闪烁,我们追随着森林中诡异的笑声。这是历史与想象力的完美融合——从闪闪发光的蜘蛛到舞动的迪斯科球,每个角落都展现着新的景象。
活动组织得井井有条,适合全家参与,氛围也令人陶醉。停车场一片漆黑——对于依赖灯光来感知空间的我来说,这对我来说是个问题,因为我猛地把后备箱砸在了头上。走在通往第一个凉亭区域的路上要小心——我的孩子们摔倒了好几次,因为天太黑了,没注意到减速带和其他路面变化。
无论您是来这里是为了了解历史、感受艺术,还是仅仅为了感受万圣节的魔力,特拉夸尔之家灯光步道都是边境地区最令人难忘的季节性活动之一——温馨、富有创意、令人着迷。
