I agree! Went to the Tron Kirk celebration once, back in 1972. Scared the living daylights out of me. It’s better now
Comparing 1980s Hogmanay in Edinburgh, with Hogmanay there, NOW.
Of COURSE it's different.
Hogmanay now is MILES better, drier, safer, catered-for and far less chaotic.
I was there, in the 1980s. Anyone thinking the old 'Tron Kirk celebration' was better, isn't good at Critical Thinking!

I have been to this one many, many times. It’s iconic and classic. Well worth a visit
The Drover's, North end of Loch Lomond, Inverarnan.
Everyone should go once to see it. Unlike any other pub in Scotland.

Predictable. It will only get worse as the elections get nearer.

Child poverty in Scotland has fallen to its lowest level in three decades, with both absolute and relative rates continuing to sit well below the UK average. For 2023–24, those rates were 22% and 17% respectively – 9% lower than the UK’s 31% and 26%
