    • 1. In Scotland, the New Year’s Eve celebration is called Hogmanay which means ‘new morning’ in Celtic. It is surely the most exciting celebration of the year.
    • 2. Preparations for the celebrations start early on 31st December. People clean their houses and throw out old unwanted things. They also bake special shortbread biscuits and a rich fruit cake called ‘Black Bun’, to share with family and friends on the big day.
    • 3. On the night of Hogmanay there are live concerts and fabulous carnivals in the streets of all Scottish towns. A lot of excited people get dressed up in colourful costumes. In some cities there is also a long torchlight procession through the streets that crowds watch excitedly. As soon as the bells chime twelve, everyone kisses and heartily wishes each other a Happy New Year. Then people join hands and proudly sing the traditional song ‘Auld Lang Syne’. After that, there is a stunning fireworks display which is the icing on the cake. On 1st January people visit friends and neighbours to wish them luck for the New Year.
    • 4. Hogmanay is certainly a great celebration. People feel happy to be with friends and family and look forward to a good year full of success.
