The Scottish term for the traditional New Year's Eve celebration is Hogmanay.
Hogmanay refers to Scotland's New Year's festivities, especially the evening of December 31 and the celebrations continuing into January 1 and sometimes January 2. Customs include singing “Auld Lang Syne,” first-footing, visiting friends and relatives, and sharing food and drink.
The word's exact origin is disputed. Proposed explanations have connected it with Scots, Gaelic, French, and Norse linguistic influences, but no single etymology is universally accepted. That uncertainty is one reason the term is often discussed separately from the better-documented customs themselves.
Hogmanay is a national Scottish tradition, not the name of one particular city's party. Edinburgh hosts a famous organized event, but Glasgow, Aberdeen, and many smaller communities also hold their own Hogmanay celebrations. First-footing is a related custom, not an alternative name for Hogmanay.
