[Ans] Where must tourists go to participate in the annual Hogmanay celebration on New Year's night?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Where must tourists go to participate in the annual Hogmanay celebration on New Year's night?"

The origins of Hogmanay are unclear, but it may be derived from Norse and Gaelic observances. Customs vary throughout Scotland, and usually include gift-giving and visiting the homes of friends and neighbours, with special attention given to the first-foot, the first guest of the new year.

The etymology of the word is obscure. The earliest proposed etymology comes from the 1693 Scotch Presbyterian Eloquence, which held that the term was a corruption of the Greek agía mína , or "holy month". The three main modern theories derive it from a French, Norse or Gaelic root.

Step 2 : Answer to the question "Where must tourists go to participate in the annual Hogmanay celebration on New Year's night?"

Scotland:

Winter festivals common to the pagan religions of the Middle Ages diminished in popularity when facing the feasts of celebration that accompanied Christmas. The reworking of calendars moved the New Year festivities to overlap with Christian holy days. The act of discouraging Christmas celebrations followed the Scottish reformations, forcing the Scots to move their gift-giving celebrations to coincide with the arrival of a new year. This gave rise to the Scottish celebration of Hogmanay. Source: Scotland.org
