HOGMANAY, SCOTLAND
New Years may be a serious party any part of the world, but in Scotland, it’s extra special. Possibly derived from the Norse winter solstice, customs include first-footing, fireball swinging, eating steak pie, and singing along to Auld Lang Syne.
Picture the core of the city bustling with people partying, staring at fireworks as midnight approaches, having a blast even when the weather doesn’t help. Then add popular dances, an ice rink, Christmas markets, a Ferris wheel, a torchlight procession on the 30th, a proper music festival on the 31st.
I doubt there is another place on earth rocking NYE as much as Edinburgh!
