Creepy Christmas Stories 2020

2020 has been a strange year. We wanted to celebrate Linlithgow’s 2020 Advent Fayre virtually as it could not go ahead physically due to the pandemic. To mark the occasion and bring people something to brighten up these dark winter nights we are delighted to present 'A Creepy Christmas'. We worked with storyteller Gillian Patterson to create so festive but slightly spooky stories. Two of the stories Gillian wrote exclusively for the museum.

Over the five weeks leading up to Christmas we shared some slightly creepy #ChristmasStories to cosy up with and get into the winter spirit. We loved working with Gillian and we hope you enjoy the results.
