Where Does The Word 'Hogmanay' Come From?

As with many traditions, lots of stories are claimed as the origin of Hogmanay. Some believe the word (just like lots of the day's traditions) started out as a Viking custom. The Scandinavian word for the feast enjoyed just before 'Yule' – the celebration of the passing of the shortest day – was known as 'Hoggo-nott', according to  Rampant Scotland. 'Hoog min dag' is Flemish for 'great love day', and the Gaelic for 'new morning' is 'oge maiden', and the French phrase 'Homme est né' means "Man is born".

All of these make sense - but whatever you believe and however you're celebrating this year's Hogmanay on 31st December, we'll do our very best to help you make it unforgettable.
