    Haunted Scottish Castle, for Halloween

    A little background on me: I spent two years in Scotland, as a young man. Since then, I can't get it out of my system. I recently bought a kilt, sporran, flashes. I've done geneolgy, and found my Grandpa's family (Weatherhead) came from the borderlands of Scotland. My grandma's family (Fisher, Casey) came from Eire. I have a Spotify playlist, with over 1700 Celtic/Celtic rock songs (called Mike's Mega Celtic Mix, for those of you with Spotify). I listen to it while I walk. The pipes, etc really motivate me to go faster. Anyway, this Halloween, I'm participating in a "trunk-or-treat" party, where folks decorate their car trunks, hand out candy, in a parking lot. I always go BIG (or go home). I'm building a Scottish castle, on/in my utility trailer. Gonna have a ghould on the castle, holding some replica bagpipes, another one with a fake fiddle, celtic music playing, ghouls, etc inside the trailer, when they enter the "castle." Is this forum/thread, the place, where I can show photos of it, after Halloween?. I'm doing a lot of work on it, and would like to share the photos, with everybody. Thanks.

    That sounds like a great plan; please share the pics afterwards and tell us how the kids enjoyed it!

    Great Idea. I think the forum "Show Us Your Pics" might be the best place for the pics. Would love to see them!
