Witches, wizards and goblins roamed the streets of Stirling over the weekend to celebrate Halloween.

Events organised by Go Forth Stirling saw children don a variety of costumes and go guising at local retailers.

Youngsters also took part in wand-making workshops and enjoyed watching street performer Magic Merlin.

Families also made their way through the city, gathering magical ingredients for a spell as part of Go Forth’s Halloween Trail.

After dark, King Street’s iconic Athenaeum was lit up with Halloween graphics.

Photographer Ciara Tait captured some of the most spook-tacular moments from the day.
