Yesterday, May 1st, was Beltane, also known as May Day. This spring festival is one of the eight annual festivals in the Pagan calendar. Celebrations today happen world-wide but are most popularly associated with Scotland and Ireland.
if you’re looking to dance around the Maypole and light some fires on your next holiday, consider a trip to Edinburgh, Scotland.
