Tour Scotland 4K Autumn travel video of Halloween cookies on history visit and trip to a Bakers shop in Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. The word Halloween means hallowed evening or holy evening. It comes from a Scottish term for All Hallows' Eve, the evening before All Hallows' Day. The earliest ancestors of Halloween cookies date back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, which marked the end of the harvest and the onset of winter. The Celts believed the boundary between the living and the dead blurred during this time. To appease wandering spirits and honour ancestors, they baked simple biscuit like food offerings made from grains and honey. These were left on doorsteps or used as ritual offerings. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. Find things to see and do in Scotland where you are always welcome.
