While May 1 is marked by a bank holiday, another forgotten Edinburgh tradition could be making a comeback.
Dating back centuries, the tradition involves climbing to the top of Edinburgh's Arthur's Seat to wash your face with the first-morning dew of May.
Said to provide health, happiness, and beauty for the coming year, the trek was popular with young women in the city who would wake up at 4am. People would have to get up at the crack of dawn as, by 8am, the dew would be gone.
