New edition - updated and expanded from the original with over 50% extra material! To speak of Scottish Christmas traditions may seem like a contradiction in terms. Hogmanay is famously the bigger occasion; Yule was suppressed by the Kirk for centuries, until it almost disappeared. The country's modern celebrations are nearly all imported. But once upon a time, Scotland did have Christmas customs of its own. We still have records of its games and mummeries, carols and rhymes, dishes and drinks, from Galloway to Shetland. So boil up some fat brose and bake a care-cake, brew some treacle-and-ginger ale, practise your street football and jollie-at-the-goose, and get ready to celebrate an auld Scots Yule!
