Book now for free family tours, with an eerie twist, inside historic Kinneil House on the afternoon of Hallowe’en itself, Saturday 31 October. The return of this popular Hallowe’en-themed event is being organised by the Friends of Kinneil volunteers, in association with Historic Environment Scotland.
Children are also being invited to take part in free Hallowe’en activities from 1pm until 3pm inside the former Kinneil Museum building. Come in spooky costumes if you like…!
There will be three house tours, at 1pm, 2pm and 3pm, each lasting around 45 minutes, and featuring some of the stories of Kinneil House and Estate, including spooky tales. All ages welcome. Will you spot Kinneil’s ‘White Lady’ ghost and then be able to dash after her?
Online booking is essential to reserve the free places on the house tours – numbers are restricted to 30 people per tour. To book tickets, please follow the booking link here. There’s no need to bring the ticket, just make sure you’ve told us you’re attending, and do not attend if you haven’t booked.
Booking is not needed for the activities in the former Kinneil Museum building, so come to those along even if you’re not booked on the house tours – you might even still see the White Lady shimmering around the grounds!
Generations of Bo’ness schoolchildren have known the tale of Kinneil House’s ‘White Lady’ ghost.
“Poor Lady Lilbourne… died in the Gil Burn” – so goes the legend that the unhappy wife of a 17th-Century Cromwellian general supposedly fell to her death from a top-floor window of the house, and has then haunted Kinneil ever since.
Come along to the free tour and activities this Saturday afternoon, as part of the Hallowe’en weekend, to find out more – you may even spot the ghost and join a ‘White Lady Dash’ to chase after her!
Please check the Friends of Kinneil Facebook page before coming, for any updates about the event.
