Way back in 1983/4 Kevin McKidd joined a company called Cadies and Witchery tour based In Edinburgh, which currently runs an evening ghostly walking tour of Edinburgh's streets. His first role was as one of the Jumpin ooter's (which is a costumed character that pops up on the tour) but quickly got promoted to leading the tours in the role of Adam Lyle (Deceased).
Adam Lyle was a highwayman who stole GBP126 from a merchant on the road to Striling. He was soon caught, and hung on the 27th March 1811 in the Grassmarket Edinburgh. Of course since his untimely demise Adam Lyle has walked the streets of Edinburg hosting the Murder and Mystery tour for the Cadies and Witchery tour company.

In The Cut-Throat World Of Fashion, Beauty Is The Beast …
Someone is killing the beautiful people.
Four supermodels have been slaughtered and mutilated in the last few weeks.
Meanwhile, in the wild world of Manhattan’s fashion jungle, a new face is getting everyone’s attention...
BASIA, a young beauty with a mysterious past, has caught the eye of both the establishment and the underground. JAKE, a hip young mix-DJ whose star is on the rise, is falling in love with her. DANNY, the hottest fashion photographer in New York, wants her too – for complicated reasons. DESIREE, boho-punk documentarian, feels Basia is a vital element of her new verite movie. And HAMISH, an all-but-burnt-out homicide Cop, has some questions for her...
While the killings continue, while the city lives in fear, Basia is drawn into the whirlwind of neo-stardom and begins to lose sight of who she really is.
All along, in teasing, taunting flashes, Basia’s repressed memories have been surfacing – tortured, confused memories of orphanhood and abuse.. A pattern of abuse that has both buried her memories and awoken an ancient genetic pattern, dormant for generations. Basia’s bloodline is very old...
Now, trapped in his apartment studio, Basia discovers to her horror that Danny is the serial killer. And she is to be his next victim...
Yet, when Desiree breaks into the studio moments later, it is Danny who is dead. Ripped to pieces as if by some rampaging beast. And Basia is nowhere to be seen...
And finally the secret self within Basia is free – a human/animal hybrid of feline grace, awesome power, terrifying beauty, and a primal urge to kill. Rampaging through New York, killing innocents and evading the police, she ends up in the sewers, surrounded and protected by the giant cats that have escaped the circus to join their new Empress.
Somewhere within the Beast, Beauty is screaming...
Only Jake can help her now. Only love can pull the trigger...
