Join us for a Live Stream Event as Trish Feaster of The Travelphile chats with Liz Lister of Jaggy Thistle Tours about traditional Hallowe’en activities in Scotland and learns some fun holiday decorating techniques.
These two tour guides and friends will spend an hour chatting about how All Hallows Eve would traditionally have been spent in Scotland. It will be 8pm in Scotland. Darkness has fallen, and it’s the time of year when the veil between the material and the spirit world is at its thinnest. We’ll be taking a light-hearted look at witches, ghosties and things that go bump in the night!
•Join this LIVE conversation and participate in the Comments section during the event.
• We encourage you to decorate with us and join in on the fun: grab your nearest pumpkin or turnip (as Scots would traditionally do) and your carving/decorating tools.
