Halloween in Scotland 2024: Customs, Festivities & Heritage
In Scotland, Halloween, or Samhain, is deeply rooted in Celtic tradition. This ancient festival marked the end of the harvest season and the onset of winter, when it was believed the veil between the living and the dead was thinnest.
Traditional customs like guising (similar to trick-or-treating), carving neeps (turnips), and lighting bonfires remain popular, though modern celebrations now also include pumpkin carving, costume parties, and haunted attractions.
