“Ey pal, yer bawbag's oan fire!”

Nudity + open flames. The Scottish aren’t afraid of anything.

Beltane Fire Festival celebrates summer in the Ancient Celtic way - dancing round a bonfire with your giblets out.

The fire dancing is supposed to protect you against the future, which genuinely seems like a sensible thing to do right now.

There’s also a May Queen procession, fire twirling and a whisky toast (or six) to the start of summer.

Beltane Festival: 30th April 2019.

Tickets: £11 on the gate.

Calton Hill is a 12 min walk from Edinburgh Waverley train station.
