BELTANE BELTANE is thought to come from Scottish Gaelic, meaning the beginning of May, the beginning of summer. Scots celebrate it on the first day in May. As noted in the Dictionaries of the Scots Language (DSL), it was marked as a quarter day – “Hallowmas, Candlemas, Beltane (or Whitsunday) and Lammas”. Beltane was also celebrated by lighting hilltop fires, described in DSL thus: “A fire festival observed on the hill-tops generally on May 1 and 3 . and more particularly, but not exclusively, in the Highlands”. Although Beltane has been recorded since the 15th century, the earliest mention of fire-lighting comes from 1750 in The Social Life of Scotland in the 18th Century by Henry Graham, published in 1899: “Beyond the Tay they had their Beltane fires – when on the first of May (Old Style) they lit the fire of turf, danced round the flames, and spilt a libation of caudle [a warm drink of spiced wine] on the ground.”.
