Weve chosen the story of Tam oShanter as the setting for our quiz. Tam spends too long in the pub and on his way home he is distracted by music coming from Alloway’s Auld Haunted Kirk. He wanders over to see a huge ceilidh in full swing, packed with witches and warlocks dancing. Enchanted by one of the witches he shouts out encouragement to her "Weel done cutty sark!"

At that moment the witches turn to Tam and realising what hes done he jumps on Meg, his grey mare, and gallops away with the witches chasing him. Tam knows that witches cant cross running water so he heads for the Brig oDoon. The race is on. Will he make it over the Brig before the witches get Megs tail?

So download the app now to help Tam & Meg and become part of our story.
