SCOTLAND has always loved a party.
Indeed, our proclivity for drinking and celebration somewhat defines us as a nation. Every New Year at the stroke of midnight millions of people across the world find themselves singing a song in a language they don’t speak purely because its essence befits the occasion. Auld Lang Syne, for better or worse, gives the world the impression that we are a people of raucous spirit whose parties continue into the wee hours.
