Galoshins in Partick

This evening I met up with Canadian Blipper Circus Girl for a drink in Oran Mor. Enjoyed our evening Theresa and looking forward to seeing more of your night scenes of Glasgow.

On the way home I stopped off at Partick and met this girl who was making her way to a Halloween Party.

Galoshins has a tradition in Scotland that can be retraced to the thirteenth century. It was a seasonal folk drama learned orally and performed, mostly by boys, in people's houses. They were rewarded with food or pennies. It took place on New Year's Eve ('Old Year's Night') or on Hallowe'en in central and southern Scotland at the very end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th.
