Wick, Caithness

Magic on the lake

Lake Bled is enchanting in its own right. But for one night every year it turns into a mesmerizing light show as thousands of tiny candles are released into the water.

The candles are in fact egg shells filled with wax and a wick. This year 10,000 of them were let float on the lake on 29 July for the 51st year running.
