Did You Know? No one knows the origin of the word Hogmanay. Until late in the twentieth century, Hogmanay was celebrated on two distinct dates, twelve days apart. On the island of Islay, it was a Hogmanay custom to predict who you would marry by throwing fish at the wall. There is more to Hogmanay than fireworks – firstfooting, Guisers, thiggers, mass ball games, clavies and the Dingwall Crate all feature within. Oh, and don't forget to look out for the Trows! The Little Book of Hogmanay is a feast of information exploring the history, folklore, tales, food, drink and traditions of Hogmanay, from its pagan roots to its celebratory present. Whether you need a user's guide or an anthology of entertainment, The Little Book of Hogmanay will tell you all you ever wanted to know about Scotland's most widely and wildly celebrated festival.
