A local witchcraft expert and author is delighted to finally be able to open Edinburgh's much-anticipated Museum of Magic, Fortune-telling and Witchcraft.
Ash Mills, 35, has opened the museum just off the Royal Mile after a short delay due to a slight flooding problem.
After hosting a special launch party, where he cut the ribbon to the exciting new attraction, he posted on Facebook: "So last night's Opening Event really well and I would like to thank all you lovely people that attended.
"A BIG thank you to Remembering the Accused Witches of Scotland for their informative presentation and Jane Mather Magical Nature Stories for some amazing stories told.

"The Museum will be open next for the public is this Tuesday. So if you're in the area, please come by and check out the museum."
Ash also shared the opening times for the museum, which will run from Tuesday to Friday, 11am to 7pm, and Saturday and Sunday 11am until 8pm, adding that they will close on Mondays.
Dating back over four or five centuries, Ash confirmed the new museum will objects from the past right through to the modern-day linked to Scotland's (and the rest of Europe's) occult past.
Ash confirmed one of the major attractions is a two-hundred-year-old mummified cat sourced from a family home in France, where it had been buried alive in the wall to ‘ward off evil spirits’.
While other artefacts on display include mystical amulets and bottles that once belonged to people branded witches.
Admission to the new museum is priced at £7.50 for adults and £3.50 for children under 15, and you'll find it at 2 Chalmers Close, just off the Royal Mile.
