Scottish new years traditions

Scotland has had some interesting Christmas traditions over the years. These are not necessarily popular today in Scotland, but some do still participate or remember them from their youth.

Hogmanay is a centuries-old New Year celebration originating in Scotland. It is associated with the giving of gifts, good luck, and the saining of households in the spirit of out with the old and in with the new. Originally, Hogmanay was celebrated at Samhain to rejoice in the harvest. It was later moved to coordinate with Yule and the Nordic influences. Read how you can celebrate Hogmanay on our website!
