HOGMANAY!<br />
Celebrating the New Year in Scotland has<br />
always been a big affair. For hundreds of years,<br />
Christmas was banned and it wasn’t until 1958<br />
that the day was a made a public holiday, with<br />
Boxing Day getting the same status in 1974.<br />
While most of the world celebrated Christmas,<br />
in Scotland it was just another working day with<br />
everyone looking forward to getting together<br />
with family and friends for the New Year, or<br />
Hogmanay celebrations.<br />
Starting on New Year’s Eve, Hogmanay goes<br />
on till 2 <strong>January</strong> and if you want to join in the<br />
party, Edinburgh is one of the places to be!<br />
Thousands of revellers party in the streets with<br />
a torch lit parade and fireworks over the famous<br />
castle. Bands, DJs and street performers keep<br />
the party atmosphere alive, which culminates<br />
in a massive group rendition of Auld Lang Syne.<br />
Dating back to the 1700s, the poem was written<br />
by Scotland’s National Bard, Robert Burns, and<br />
is now a global New Year’s Eve anthem.<br />
