Also known as Guy Fawkes Night... you know, "remember remember the fifth of November." Anyway, Scotland is not so much with the effigies (which is good because that sounds creepy) but very much with the amateur fireworks displays! As soon as it gets dark (ie 5pm) everyone across the cities starts setting off fireworks like crazy. To appreciation this singular spectacle we (a brave troop of about eight international students) climbed up Arthur's Seat (in the dark with no flashlight - very punkrock) and sat and ate delicious vegan cookies (courtesy of yours truly) and drank various forms of alcoholic beverages (I love parentheses!)out of various forms of water bottles, and watched all the fireworks go off across the city, including a big beautiful one put on by the city itself. So fun, so beautiful, and we were home by nine! Now that's what I call a wholesome evening.
