A SOUND and light show called The Enchanted Forest welcomed hundreds of visitors back to the familiar surroundings of Faskally Wood in Pitlochry last night.
The much-anticipated launch of the 20th anniversary show, Together, comes after a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic.
Organisers say that this year’s show, which runs from September 29 to October 30, was inspired by the public mood of togetherness that many are experiencing after such a long time apart during lockdown, as well as the desire to mark the 20th anniversary of the event.
Nela Popovic, executive director of The Enchanted Forest Community Trust, said: “We’re over the moon that The Enchanted Forest is back after such a long break.

“I’m sure all our visitors will really enjoy the sense of togetherness it brings that we are so keen to celebrate in 2022, and from which we’ve developed this year’s theme.
“We have been determined to create a show that is the best yet.
“A real celebration of two decades of delivering a magical experience for everyone who comes back to visit us time and time again.
“We very much hope they can enjoy the spectacle of light and sounds in the magnificent surroundings of Faskally Wood at The Enchanted Forest.
“This year’s event includes all the innovation and showstopping moments that we have come to expect from our creative partners, and it has been fantastic to see the joy in the faces this evening of our first visitors.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
