SB | Episode 65: Scottish Christmas Traditions
While many of the festivities leading up to Christmas are now universal, Scotland retains a colourful patchwork of Pagan, Christian, Celtic and contemporary customs. From fire and candle light to pantomimes and nativity plays, we reflect on what makes a typical Christmas in Scotland with reminiscences from our own childhood memories. It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas !
As always we finish with our Scots words of the episode.
