December
Darkness falls mid-afternoon as the shortest day approaches. The often cold and wet
weather is relieved by Christmas and New Year festivities.
HOGMANAY
Christmas celebrations in Edinburgh (
www.edinburghschristmas.com
) culminate in a huge
street party on Hogmanay (31 December). The fishing town of Stonehaven echoes an an-
cient, pre-Christian tradition with its procession of fireball-swinging locals who parade to
the harbour and fling their blazing orbs into the sea (

).
