How is Easter celebrated in Scotland?

Simnel cake: This spiced fruit cake is covered with marzipan and decorated with eleven marzipan balls signifying the Apostles minus Judas, who betrayed Jesus.

Egg decoration: Egg decorating and rolling races are enjoyed especially in the Scottish Borders.

Hare hunting ritual: The Hunting of the Hare game dates back to the Scottish Reformation. It involves young boys racing through the village looking for a hare hidden by the elders. The first one to find it is rewarded.

Kirking of the Tartan: This religious service involving Scottish tartans and bagpipes is held on Easter Sunday in some parts of Scotland.
