Both First Foot and the Luckenbooth Brooch are simple sweet pre-wedding customs in Scotland.
Do you know: In the 18th century this type of brooch was sold through locked booths in the jewellery stores of Saint Giles in Edinburgh.
A quaint custom amongst the Scots is the ‘first foot’ seen by the bride on her wedding day. It is customary to give a coin and whiskey to the first person, whose foot the bride sees on the way to her wedding. This individual also has to join in the wedding procession. The Luckenbooth brooch is a customary gift given by the groom to his bride on their wedding day.
