They would mark white stones to represent the revellers which were then thrown into the Halloween fire."<BR/><BR/><B>Er...actually that 'Scottish' custom used to happen here in Lancashire as well, right up until Victorian times. We called it Teanleas Night...don't know why, but basically it amounted to chucking white rocks into a bonfire, waiting for morning, and anyone who couldn't find their own was considered 'Fey'. Our local Teanleas field is now a shopping presinct...but it's called the Teanleas Centre in acknowledgement of its origins and the closer we get to Guy Fawkes night the more likely it is to become a bonfire.<BR/><BR/>Incidentally...part of the Samhain (or Teanleas) celebrations ended up as Guy Fawkes night; Guy Fawkes, as I've probably mentioned somewhere else, being hung, drawn and quartered rather than coming within twenty feet of a bongy.<BR/><BR/>I am a mine of information, half collpased, with fraying seams.</B>Brian Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00350965110160879688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17391176.post-28659427052338278002007-10-31T19:26:00.000+11:002007-10-31T19:26:00.000+11:00Mikhela, never let science get in the way of a goo...Mikhela, never let science get in the way of a good bonfire and besides with a good tail wind I can get the broom to the heart of witch country in an hour or two.
