As our round of post-festival photographs begins to wind down, we look back to how Beltane Fire Festival was put together by the wonderful Tech Point ✊ Photo by Martin McCarthy for @beltanefiresociety #beltane2018 #fire #festival #firefestival #summer #edinburgh #scotland #arts #performance #rehearsal #behindthescenes #volunteers

Part of Earth Point's story this year explored nature's nourishing aspects and our relationship with the world through food. Here they are immersing themselves in that concept through a green-fingered day of gardening 🌻🍃 Photo by Martin McCarthy for @beltanefiresociety #festival #firefestival #summer #edinburgh #scotland #celtic #outdoors #arts #performance #rehearsal #behindthescenes #greenfingers #gardening

The Bower is the home that all our performers return to at Beltane Fire Festival after a busy night of revelry and transformation. Meet our Bowerlings, who embodied that journey home on the night of the festival.

We wouldn't be a very good fire festival without our Torchbearers there to carry the flames around the festival 🔥🔥 Photo Point caught up with them before the festival to capture them practicing their procession. #beltane2018 #fire #festival #firefestival #summer #edinburgh #scotland #celtic #outdoors #arts #performance

During the day before Beltane Fire Festival our Faerie Porters explored the psychogeography of the festival around Edinburgh, visiting places that have meant something to people in our community 🔥🔥 Photo by Martin McCarthy for @beltanefiresociety #festival #firefestival #beltane2018 #edinburgh #igedinburgh #ig_edinburgh #scotland #summer
