Edinburgh’s Hogmanay – #blogmanay

Follow Me, @Agentcikay… on my #blogmanay Trip to Edinburgh!

The Hogmanay Festival is essentially a New Year celebration with a dash of Scottish flair. This festival takes place on the 31st of December every year and is as colorful and boisterous as the street carnivals at Mardi Gras.

While people celebrate the arrival of the new year all over the world, many of the most beloved traditions, such as the singing of Auld Lang Syne, originated in Scotland.

Hogmanay generally starts quite early in the evening, reaching its peak as expected at midnight with the ringing of bells, the singing of the old folk song “Auld Lang Syne” and plenty of good wishes, accompanied by kissing, being showered on all and sundry.

Depending on where you are in Scotland, activities for this festival may vary from folk song singing, dancing, torch light processions, the swinging of fireballs and a number of other activities, which are all combined with lots of laughter and fun for the whole evening and well into the next morning.
