About Hogmanay
Over 200 festivals are celebrated yearly in Scotland, and Hogmanay is one of them. Historically, this day was celebrated as an alternative to Christmas Eve. This fact might be shocking to a few that Christmas celebrations were banned for almost 400 years in Scotland. The Hogmanay event was substituted for that special event. After a struggle from the Scots, the Christmas ban was removed, but the Hogmanay event is still part of their festivals.
