Since theres no other scottish members on here (i think eek: ). Happy Hogmanay biggrin:

WTF is Hogmanay?

Look it up biggrin:

I'm gonna guess "Happy New Year" in some Scot language.

The eve of New Year's Day, on which children traditionally go from house to house asking for presents.

Cool, kinda like Halloween.

i think one scot is plenty

Scotland language is English btw.

ha, kinda like Spoiled Children's Eve.

Aww cheers for that gerard!

I think i am the only scot here who posts frequently, which suits me fine.

Pyro the Scottish (not scotland) language is Gaelic, but since we were banned by the English from speaking it. Only way up north of Scotland like on the Isle of Skye and Shetlands do people still speak it as they dont teach it in very many schools. Anyway yes, on the whole Scots do speak English - but then so do Americans.
Kids didnt go around every house asking for gifts, what used to happen was people would swap things at doors, like say a lump of coal for a loaf of bread or cake. but those days were long ago and now people just hang around with friends and family and one of the group invites them home to a meal but this is more for the small communtities and little highland villages. The closest you get to "tradition" these days is for some pubs or town halls to hold ceilidhs (pronounced kalay), which is basically singing old folk songs, playing celtic (pronounced keltic) music, drinking and dancing - its more for the older generations than the youngsters.

I was working as a steward last night in Edinburgh. had a great view of the Castle and fireworks and didnt mind being frozen, but Starbucks wouldnt give us free coffee. bastards. Didnt mind though cause i was at an exit gate and got showered with kisses by drunk hot lassies biggrin: let the good times roll

Theres only about 2 irish peeps that post here, myself and sgt slaughter. biggrin: Was a couple of others but theyre long gone i think. cry:

Their may be only a few of us but we can still stand our own without the backing of a dozen or so country members. aka canadian members and american members. biggrin:
