 "In other parts of Scotland the term  "Guisin" is used"

I think that guising might be from England rather than Scotland. Alan
Garner has written a book called The Guiser, well worth reading if you
can find a copy. His interest in and knowledge of his native Chesire
area (partuclarly the village of Gostrey), including its language and
customs makes each of his novels and his mummers' play fantastic
reading.

Best,
Andrys Onsman
