Hallowe’en parties have were held around the island last week in schools, halls and other venues.
On Hallowe’en night itself guisers were seen visiting houses of friends and family in all the villages. In Brodick the traditional start to guising is at Montrose House and this year saw one of the biggest turnouts in recent years of children performing their party pieces to the residents and guests who enjoyed their own treats and an old fashioned sing song.
Over in Shiskine the same night the village Hallowe’en party attracted a large number of youngsters dressed up, as always, in some imaginative costumes. After the serious business of the judging they enjoyed a night of games and party treats.
