As with the rest of Scotland, our planning for the 2020 Beltane Festival ground to a halt in March of that year, with the announcement of our first lockdown.

The result was the community coming together to celebrate in the digital realm with a live stream of content submitted by the community on Youtube and social media. Watch the archived stream below.
