11 amazing pictures of Halloween traditions that show what it was like to grow up in Glasgow

Whilst these days, Halloween has become deeply Americanised through trick or treating, rather than guising, it’s important to remember the roots of the All Hallows' Eve are deeply Celtic.

They can be traced back more than 2,000 years to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. But in the following two millennia they have adopted more and more Christian and other traditions to create what we now know as Halloween.

Whilst back in the day you’d find whatever you had kicking about the house to make your costume to go guising, these days there’ll be frantic shopping sprees for the best K-Pop Demon Hunter outfit from Amazon so your little one can go ‘trick or treating’. Call me old fashioned, but the game is gone.

This is a gallery for those who remember dooking for apples, Halloween fairs and turnips rather than pumpkins.
