Hogmanay in Scotland, 31st December

In Scotland, the 31st of December is known as Hogmanay and it has always been the big party night in Scotland. When I was young we used to have friends round for a party - the homemade brew, whisky, traditional Scottish music, dancing and generally have a good time.

Nowadays, there is a big party in Edinburgh, live concerts in Princess Street Gardens below the Castle and the countdown to midnight, when there is a firework display to celebrate the New Year.
