Episode 6
Today we are having a slightly different podcast as we are talking all things Christmas and Hogmanay in Scotland. I share some of the traditions around this time of year, we hear from a good friend Catherine Leiper about her experiences of the festive season growing up and the traditions she has continued in her own family. We learn a bit more about some of the more unusual and forgotten celebrations such as the Burning of the Clavie with Fiona-Jane Brown and how herring played a role in a very curious act. Finally we finish with a Hogmanay poem written by Angela Wybrow.
