Light artists Malcolm Innes and Euan Winton will visually bathe the setting while a stroll along the route reveals interactive stations and one or two hidden surprises. As Innes has said, the visual treats will span from ‘grand spectacle, through romantic and beautiful, to mysterious and tiny’. See preview, page 49 and list.co.uk. Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, Thu 30 Oct–Sun 23 Nov. A stirring line-up has been gathered for this year’s festival.
