The Scottish New Year's Eve festival held annually in Edinburgh is Hogmanay.
Edinburgh's Hogmanay is a large, multi-day celebration centered on the transition from December 31 to January 1. Its program has included a torchlight procession, outdoor concerts, street festivities, and a midnight fireworks display. The exact events can change between years, but the festival is one of Scotland's best-known New Year's gatherings.
The word Hogmanay refers broadly to Scottish New Year celebrations, not only to Edinburgh's event. Scottish customs associated with the season include first-footing, in which the first person to enter a home after midnight traditionally brings symbolic gifts such as coal, bread, salt, or whisky. “Auld Lang Syne,” the song associated with Robert Burns, is also strongly linked with New Year celebrations in Scotland and internationally.
