Beltane Fire Festival 2014

A spectacular pageant which honours Celtic heritage and marks the beginning of summer.

As part of Homecoming Scotland 2014, Beltane Fire Festival fuses together drums, fire, dancing and revelry as we delight in the joining of the May Queen with the reborn Green Man.

Honouring our Celtic ancestry and historic celebration of the seasons, this revival of a community pageant marks the beginning of summer and is performed each year by Beltane Fire Society.

Performers enact the ritual story that sees the lighting of the sacred Bel Fire. The procession moves around the hill, with the May Queen at its head, accompanied by her White Women and the Processional Drummers whose distinctive beat gives its own power to the event.
