Scotland's New Year's Eve celebration is called Hogmanay.
Hogmanay is the Scottish name for the final day of the year and the festivities surrounding it. Celebrations can include street parties, fireworks, singing, torchlight processions, and first-footing, in which the first person to enter a home after midnight brings symbolic gifts.
Edinburgh hosts one of the world's best-known Hogmanay events, including a major street celebration and, in some years, a torchlight procession. Customs differ across Scotland and are not identical in every community.
Auld Lang Syne is strongly associated with the occasion, but it is not exclusively Scottish New Year's music. The song uses words adapted from a poem by Robert Burns, first published in 1796, and became an international parting and New Year song.
