We’re trying to find out what customs and traditions are still practiced today relating to weddings and romance or courtin’(and much more). Brides wear something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue and we still have ‘Hen Nights’, but what specifically Scottish customs and traditions are still being practised in different areas? What’s supposed to bring good luck and bad to a marriage? Do different trades or industries still do unmentionable things to a lad about to get wed before the big day? Still any chance o’ a scramble, or poor-oot for the we’ans (or the bairns)? This is the sort of ‘live’ information we need for a new online record of the customs, traditions, sayings, beliefs, superstitions and celebrations being carried out by folks living in Scotland today! Who are we? We’re the Intangible Cultural Heritage Wiki – bit of a mouthful, but it will be yours to add information to soon . . . watch out for details on how, and in the meantime, tell us what goes on in your neck o the woods, or go to www.ichscotland.org
