What is the Scottish New Year's celebration called?

The Scottish New Year's celebration is called Hogmanay.

Hogmanay is Scotland's traditional celebration of the last day of the year and the start of the new year. Its events often continue into January 1 and January 2, which are public holidays in Scotland.

Common customs include first-footing, in which the first person to enter a household after midnight brings symbolic gifts such as food, drink, or coal. Many celebrations also feature fireworks, concerts, street parties, and the singing of “Auld Lang Syne.”

Edinburgh's Hogmanay is among the best-known modern versions, with a torchlight procession and large public gatherings. Hogmanay is not the same event as Burns Night, which honors poet Robert Burns on January 25.
