Halloween celebrated early in Scottish town

Kilmarnock born and raised Necole Connell, 29, shared a video on TikTok describing the unique tradition to her 12.4k followers.

Having lived in the town her whole life, she says: “Killieween is all I know”.

Ms Connell describes the Halloween celebrations as a “much bigger deal” now than they used to be.

She recalls giving out 70 trick or treat bags to children out guising within half an hour one year.

Ms Connell said: “I always figured that everywhere celebrated Halloween on the same day as us because to me it makes so much sense that we celebrate it on a Friday night.

“Who wants to go trick or treating through the week then go to school the next day?

“Killieween, for me growing up, was your school disco on the Thursday night then dressing up for school on the Friday and trick or treating on the Friday night with all your friends.

“By 31 October, there’s no pumpkins, no costumes left in the stop, everything is done.”
