Hogmanay in Dufftown
Hogmanay's roots reach back to ancient practises of sun and fire worship in mid-winter. When John Knox banned the celebration of Christmas in Scotland during the Reformation, Hogmanay became the chance for Scots to really let their hair down.
Celebrations in Dufftown start in the early evening with a ceilidh in the Commercial Hotel and a Party in the Royal British Legion. Festivities reach a climax at midnight in the Square when free drams and shortbread are handed out (courtesy of Glenfiddich and Walkers).
