History

The Celtic Quarter-Day festivals of Samhuinn, Imbolc, Beltane and Lughnasadh have an ancient history in both Scotland and the wider Celtic world. Visit the pages below to find out about their ancient history, the decline of these festivals in the 19th Century, and their re-establishment in recent times in Edinburgh and the rest of the world.

These pages are still in the process of being written - please come back later for more information on the history of the festivals.
