Tomorrow is May Day. Here is an interesting extract from Maclagan MS- it was collected in 1894 from Mrs Gillespie, of Islay.
If anyone out there is in want of a husband on this May Day Eve, this snail-under-a-cup custom might be worth a shot! (MML0488a)

The last few days have been beautiful and I probably should have been out in the garden. The amount of work undertaken by Robert Oliphant in his Kirkcaldy garden in March 1830 probably means I am behind schedule!
