Hogmanay celebrations Happy New Year = Bliadhna mhath ùr Scots Gaelic pronounced "Blee-una va oor" Hogmanay is the last day of the year and is synonymous with the celebration of the New Year (Gregorian calendar) in the Scottish manner. However, it is normally only the start of a celebration that lasts through the night until the morning of New Year's Day (1 January). There are many customs, both national and local, associated with Hogmanay. The most widespread national custom is the practice of first-footing, which starts immediately after midnight. www.scotland.org/celebrate-scotland/hogmanay |
