Holy Fair

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: — admin @ 8:29 pm

The Holy Fair was a biennial rural celebration of the Communion once common in Scotland, attended not only by the people of the parish, but by large numbers of strangers from far and near. Their acts were of questionable decency, however, and were exposed and satirised by the poet Robert Burns in his poem The Holy Fair.
