Halloween traditions from Scotland

I grew up in Scotland, and have some fond memories of Halloween. Getting the candies was not such an easy task as it is today! We would go up to the door, say trick or treat, and actually have to do something, like recite a poem, or do a little dance in order to get the treat. No costumes to choose from like there are in the stores now. I think it was more like ” Mum, do you have a spare sheet I can put eye holes in for my ghost” or maybe if we were lucky, a hat. Fond memories of youth. I do hear Halloween is becoming a bigger thing now in the UK, up until a few years ago, it was still a children’s event, not so much for adults.

Have a great weekend!
