I’m wondering if anyone in Scotland still carves turnips. We did when we were kids, which is a lot later than the “19th and early 20th century” dates this article gives.

We had guising, which involved doing a party piece, and then penny for the guy in the run-up to the 5th. It was a great time for kids, except for being expected to sing a wee song!

in reply to Alexandra Lanes • • •no trick or treat, but we had mischief night, which was basically demanding stuff with menaces as well. There was no expectation that you'd get anything, not like now. And we were serious, eggs thrown and stuff.
