The scrambles in my village were as the bride and her father left her parents house for the wedding car. I had never heard of a blackening. Interesting video
I saw a blackening in Kirkwall. I always thought that the scramble happened as the couple were coming out of the church. I remember waiting outside the Neilston Kirk, for everyone to come out, knowing that the scramble would happen. There is also the Loch Lomond mosh pit. I went to the wedding of an English couple I know. They got married in Dumfries, and I bought them a quaich. I had to explain to them what it was.
The blackening must take ages to wash off. I didn't know that in some areas the scramble happened after the wedding. Maybe it's an east/west thing. As for quaichs, I guess we just take it for granted folk will know what they're for. Thank you so much for watching Claire. I'm away to watch your Stone of Destiny one x
Lol, handfasting a Scottish tradition, its a ancient pagan one that was once used all over the UK, Ann Hathaway used it to, after all isn't where tieing the Knot saying comes from..when will Scottish stop doing this appropriation stuff, its like Gaelic and the bloody bag pipes they say is their own ancient tradition to... Gaelic coming from Ulster in the Dal Riada invasion and settlers and the Pipes are from Anatolia once the furthest reach of the Keltoi tribes more than likely brought into Brittania from Roman Auxiliarys or Greek scribes accompanying them...
