I was born on the night of Samhain, whenthe barrier between the worlds is whisper-thinand when magic, old magic, sings its heady andsweet song to anyone who cares to hear it.
Carolyn MacCullough
In 2002 Deveron Projects organised a Halloween festival in Huntly at the end of October, bringing artists and community together to celebrate the ancient tradition of Samhain in Scotland. Through dressing up and having fun, we celebrated the traditional Celtic New Year, associated with the seasonal harvest, a key aspect of rural life. Since then, the Halloween festival in Huntly has grown into an annual event, with an independent committee and its own programme of events over the Halloween period. Halloween in Huntly has recently been renamed Huntly Hairst, a festival celebrating the traditional Scottish Harvest as a food and art festival.
