Old Year's Night
James Naughtie investigates the history and traditions behind the peculiarly Scottish celebration of Hogmanay. From 2003.
Towards the end of every year, thousands of people head north of the border at a time when the days are bewilderingly short and the weather, at best, unpredictable.
The reason?
Hogmanay.
