Guising!

A rather fine day, cold but bright.
We took the dogs for a walk round Fyvie loch.
It won’t be long before all the leaves fall from the trees.
Guess it’s a fine night for children out guising, or trick or treating as it’s sometimes called.

Guising - Scottish children traditionally donned costumes and pretended to be malicious spirits as they went 'guising' around the local streets. It was believed that, by disguising themselves, they would blend in with any wandering spirits and remain safe from harm.
