Kyle and Emily take a cup o’ kindness for the sake of auld lang syne, and talk all about Hogmanay, i.e. New Year’s in Scotland.
Turns out the Scottish new year looks considerably different than what Kyle and Emily are used to. They take a look at midnight visitors and gifts, a pagan tradition from the Scottish highlands, why the town of Stonehaven is all aflame on New Year’s Eve, and why the people of Edinburgh are wet and freezing on New Year’s Day.
They also chat about how the Scottish holiday season differs from in the US, and how Times Square is not the only place that drops something special on NYE. Happy New Year, and we hope you’re enjoying your Daft Days!
