Revelry, wild carousing, or boisterous merrymaking, particularly associated with Highland Scottish celebrations.
From Scottish 'gilravage' or 'giravage,' possibly blending 'geal' (Gaelic for 'white' or 'bright') + 'ravage,' or from older Celtic festival terminology. Used in Scottish literature for festive mayhem.
Highland Scotland had so many specific words for partying—gilravage, dirdum, stravaig—that some scholars think the language reflected the actual frequency and style of Highland celebrations.
