Robin Mitchell said, Princess Pumpalot is making a big stink. I am asking everyone who buys a copy of the book to take a photo of themselves pulling a Princess Pumpalot face. Well, this has really taken off and I am now receiving photos from all over the world (most recently from Argentina, New Zealand and Canada). You can see a selection of the Princess Pumpalot pose photos on FLICKR. I am really delighted that we are now going to have a stage show based on the book.

The dates and venue will be announced shortly.

Copies of the book Princess Pumpalot (The Farting Princess) are available on this site.

The Cadies and Witchery Tours normally operate 362 days a year. The ghosts usually have a rest on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day. It’s a time to exchange screams, put their feet up and enjoy a mince pie or two.

However, this year by public demand (and for the first time in 29 years) we are running tours on Christmas Eve (Monday 24th December 2012). Please call us on (0131) 225 6745 to check times and book places.

Halloween Tours with the Cadies & Witchery Tours often involve a few extra surprises, including appearances that the guides do not even know about or do they? All in all it is a fun week full of ghosts, ghouls and giggles.

Our new book, Princess Pumpalot (The Farting Princess) is published on Monday 16th July 2012.

The book is aimed at children but I’m sure adults will enjoy it too. Written in the style of a screenplay, Princess Pumpalot (The Farting Princess) is a funny wee story which farts along at a great pace.

On the occasion of her 13th birthday, Princess Pumpalot is presented with the key to the cabinet. This is no ordinary key and this is no ordinary cabinet. The cabinet contains 32,141 tins of magic beans . . . beans that make you fart.

Competing to take Princess Pumpalot to the Royal Birthday Ball are twin brothers Prince Niceavia and Prince Nastavia. Who will win this battle and what the heck is a low-flying gnome?

All (and more) will be revealed in this cheeky little book.

All of the ghouls at the Cadies & Witchery Tours send hearty congratulations to former ghostly guide, actor Kevin McKidd (Brave, Rome, Trainspotting) for his part in the SPEYSIDE SESSIONS.

A group of talented musicians led by Kevin and his best friend James D. Reid gathered together in the Scottish Highlands over the course of one intense winter week, recording over two dozen traditional Scottish folk songs. All the tracks were recorded as live performances in singular continuous takes to capture the mood of the moment and the spontaneous atmosphere of the sessions.

The resulting album, THE SPEYSIDE SESSIONS, is now available with all profits going to SAVE THE CHILDREN.

Presently up and running is our Ghost & Gore Tour.

Your guide is Alexander Clapperton (deceased) who was an Edinburgh Cemetery Director during the 1840’s. Mr Clapperton takes a light-hearted look at Edinburgh’s dark past, telling tales of hangings, punishment, witchcraft & invasion as he leads you through the Old Town’s atmospheric closes & courtyards.

Mr Clapperton (deceased) will blend history with humour and facts with fables while “jumper-ooters” provide guaranteed ghastly appearances!

The Witchery Ghost & Gore Tour includes a copy of our best-selling Witchery Tales book.
