Damn I wish I've been there...why don't we have fire festivals like Beltane or Lughnasadh here in Quebec...

Gives me a festival to look forward to when I moved to Glasgow. When we hold our festival, we're protested by Baptists. Mmm.

I just hope those people are actual pagans and there's more to this celebration than just 'let's get naked and jump around'.

Partly yes, partly no, partly something entirely different - the Beltane Fire Society has religion of it's own, especially with the Red Men (I got their name wrong when I labelled this photo; the Beasties are their drummers).
Please check out the gallery from this year's festival...

Very intriguing..I always thought places like Borneo and perhaps even Zimbabwe might have such rituals like this, but not Scotland.
I do love the sheer wickedness of this pic for the fact that it looks like quite barbaric festival which is kinda neat and the people look as though they have the rabies..positively freaky!

It is one image of the Beltane Fire Festival - a celebration of the end of winter held around the world, particularly in Edinburgh.
