Happy New Year!

Happy 2016.
Since 2016 is a leap year, anyone in for it, can hang a day longer to the cross!

Thanks Naraku, good to see the words Burns actually wrote,
they're always mangled - worst of all by Scots at Hogmanay.
And this is the tune he had in mind, we sometimes sing it
in his home territory, it's rarely heard outwith it -
a more gentle, reflective melody than the usual one

Thank you.

Sometimes you have to do more than to be here in the forum. I for one am glad that you're here. And so a small delay, which is not bad.

in Scotland celebrates the Old New Year

When I was in Scotland last summer, I noticed many similarities between the Russian and the Scots

I think so - when it comes to drink, crazy dancing, and a weird sense of humour

Here's a few different takes:



#2 is about the 'Russian Scottish Society' in Yekaterinburg, a 'RuSco' fashion show,
and plans for an authentic Scottish village on the banks of the Chusovaya River
(thinks, is Glasgow an authentic Russian city on the banks of the Clyde? )

Brochers decided to have the best of both worlds, by celebrating New Year twice – on 1st January and the 11th January.

'Brochers' is what the people of Burghead call themselves.
They're close to Speyside, so there's an awful lot of whisky to get through,
that's why they do Hogmanay twice!

Well given the real estate prices it sometimes seems London is a Russian city on the banks of the Thames
