Hogmany & First Footing

[Ogri]

Ok - seems like there are one or two Scots here according to Weasel's poll.

Who will be celebrating the New Year in typical Scottish style?

[Mad Cow]

Did the whole in the front door out the back with coal and a stranger...... for the last two years when Scottish friends were over. This year trying Kiwi style..... too much to drink at the Viaduct!

wasn't the old tradition, the case of a silver coin under the mat at the back door, no blondies first into the house only dark haired people?

was in edingburgh for the new years in 97 and 98 was a primo night they blocked off the mile and it was all action.
i'll tell you even i got a bit of action from the ol dirty scottish woman those 2 nights.
argh good days.

Sadly no celebrating for me this year - gotta work night shift. Haven't observed the Scottish tradition for many years - might have to do it next year.
