Today, Helen, Liz and Susan, from the Scottish Blethers will teach us that In Scotland New Year’s Eve – or Hogmanay as it’s known – is one of the biggest nights of the year with lots of traditions to maintain.
One of these traditions is first-footing, where you visit neighbours’ homes to welcome in the New Year. To go empty-handed would be to bring bad luck to your hosts so the traditional gifts would be coal, whisky and shortbread.
