Although Hogmanay itself is 31 December, the Scottish in fact celebrate the new year until 2nd January. This day is an official holiday only in Scotland, and not in the rest of the UK where the word 'Hogmanay' is not used.
Hogmanay involves a number of traditions, including the ancient custom of 'first-footing', the song Auld Lang Syne, and more recently fireworks at Edinburgh Castle.
