Hogmanay is a Scottish celebration; it is the celebration of New Year's Eve and can last for days. No-one celebrates the eve quite like the Scots. It is believed the Scots inherited the celebration of Hogmanay from the Vikings. New Year's Eve was a good excuse for some revelry and the excuse to drink whisky and eat good food. Hogmanay involves parties and festivals across Scotland with the largest and most famous public party in Edinburgh.Food at Hogmanay must include the traditional foods of Scotland. Shortbread is always eaten at Hogmanay and sometimes served with cheese and of course Haggis will most certainly make an appearance.
And to Drink....? It has to be Whisky in Scotland. Scotch Whisky is world renowned and what better time to drink it than Hogmanay?
