OLD SCOTS FIRE
"SACRIFICE"
The ceremony of burning the clavie, which is supposed to have taken its origin in the Druidical fire-worship of the ancient Picts, was carried out at Burghead last night.
In charge of its crew-consisting of the skipper, Mr. Wm. Feterkin, and three young fishermen, George Dick, John Ross, and James Mac- kenzie the clavie; which is com- posed of an Archangel tar barrel filled with combustibles and fasten ed to a salmon fisherman's pole by anail specially forged by Mr John Sandison, a local blacksmith, was curried at a trut through the streete. Blazing faggots were thrown on the way into the doors of hotels and zhops, and the climax was reached on the summit of the Doorie Hill, where the clavie was set in a speci al stone receptacle and allowed to burn itself out.,
