Summer is officially here now, welcomed in by the Beltane festival. Companion to the Samhuinn festival we went to in November, this is a Gaelic festival, recently revived and become very popular (mostly with the tourists). We spent a chilly night watching it all on Carlton hill in the middle of the city. It was a lot of fun, with a lot of costumed performers, fire, drums and rituals we didn't really understand. To top it off, we had a nice clear evening, so the setting had a fine backdrop looking over the city. I don't think John Knox would have approved though.
