30th November
Do you know that …
today, 30th November, is St.Andrew's day, Scotland's patron saint? And that St Andrew’s Day marks the beginning of Scotlands winter festivals?
"St Andrew’s Day is commemorated as a celebration of Scottish culture and traditions, in particular, food and music.
One traditional food is cullen skink - a type of fish soup. Lamb is also a popular food during St Andrew’s Day celebrations.
It is also seen as marking the start of a season of Scottish winter festivals which include St Andrew’s Day, Hogmanay and Burns Night.
In some places, such as the town of St Andrews and other Scottish cities, there are week-long celebrations.
Hogmanay begins on Monday, December 30 and ends on Wednesday, January 1 2020, and commemorates the end of the year.
Burns Night will this year fall on Friday, January 25, 2020 - celebrating the life of Scottish poet Robert Burns."
