Scotland The Grave

Jeff Fallow

Ideal for the 8 – 12 age group, Scotland the Grave is a fast-paced journey through Scotland’s dark past with our cuddly grim reaper, nice Mr Death, who will take you on a tour of myths, ghosts, ghoulies, demons and supernatural creatures. You’ll encounter bad and scary men and women like Burke and Hare, Sawney Bean, and the not-very-nice Madeleine Smith. Witches, body snatchers, and cannibals – you can meet them all in this riot through Scotland’s frightening history as told by our tour guide, nice Dr Death.
