Hogmanay

Didn't know of the holiday. Didn't know singing "Auld Lang Syne" was tied to it.

Thanks.

All the best auchterless (Mike)!

Glad to hear it went well this year. We went last year, specifically for Hogmanay, but alas...

We enjoyed Edinburgh thoroughly, just indoors mostly.

Mike, Happy Hogmanay to you as well! Is this a year of travel for you?

simple tools needed for First Footing - a lump of shiny clean coal, a piece of food and a little bottle

First footing generally requires a man. Usually dark haired and young. Some areas it was fair haired.

I used to spend Hogmanay as a teenager being shoved through half the front doors on our street!

Thank you Mike! A fine time was had at the ceilidh in Portree....
