The expectation that everyone will be partying drives the irregular revellers out of the house for a change and their inexperience has a real suffocating effect on your partying experience. More bodies in nightlife spaces that seem crowded on a Tuesday night in April; novice partiers slowing down the service ordering convoluted and time-consuming cocktails. By partying Scottish style.
A real shins up in the Scottish capital, Hogmanay is the how they call the new year in the local dialect. Say it now, to yourself, in your best Scottish accent. Did anyone see you do that?
Hogmanay is quite simply a very elaborate street party, a wild night of music and dancing across the city featuring live acts and world-renowned fireworks. Bringing in the New Year with a gusto is a Scottish tradition dating back to the viking invasions and to this day retains some ridiculous customs like desiring that a tall, dark stranger is the first to enter your house once the clock strikes 12, but only if he comes bearing a lump of coal.
This is an ancient celebration given a modern interpretation and Stoke will be there with pockets full of coal and bellies full of whiskey. Join us at Hogmanay ! Sign up here to receive travel dates, insider info, and travel gossip. One-night stands areβ¦.
