Happy Halloween from your Friends at the Fergus Scottish Festival While, Halloween is celebrated worldwide but many traditions originated in Scotland The Gaelic festival of Samhain, celebrated throughout Scotland ushered in the start of the winter season and marked the end of the harvest months. The name Halloween comes from a Scottish shortening of All-Hallows Eve Did you know... In the past, communities would light huge bonfires to keep evil spirits at bay ...In true Scottish tradition, scary faces were carved into neeps (turnips) to create lanterns that would scare off ghouls wandering in the witching house Pumpkins are now as common as turnips for lanterns in Scotland and are considerably easier to carve #ScottishInCanada #Samhain #HappyHalloween

Wishing you a happy and safe Thanksgiving
