Link to part 5: Dufton to Edale, along the Pennine Way: Sitting at the breakfast table in the youth hostel, people warned me about an impending storm and strong winds. The majority of people in the hostel abandoned their trip and took a bus to their next destination. That would break my rules though and I wasn’t too keen on wasting a day as I felt fit to walk.

Dear Scotland: here are 76 things we'd like to apologise for, love England. 1 Sorry for calling every last one of you "Jock".
We now know it's offensive, especially if you're a woman. 2 So sorry for the years of heartless Conservative governments that you never voted for that ripped the heart out of the Scottish mining, steel and shipbuilding industries, butchered public services and imposed an unwonted, dismal neo-liberal ethos on a land to which such a callous political and economic philosophy was inimical. 3 And for making you guinea pigs for Margaret Thatcher's disastrous poll tax, inflicting it on you a year before England and Wales, and then – somehow! – forgetting to backdate the rebate for the tax when it was abolished in the early 90s. 4 Sorry for the 1746 Dress Act that banned tartan, part of a sustained attempt by the British government in Westminster to ethnically cleanse the Highlands and eliminate Gaelic culture.
Scottish Christmas – traditions for all. It’s that special time of year again, and as we all prepare for a warm, Scottish Christmas, I thought we could share some of our favourite festive traditions that remind us of our heritage and Celtic ancestry during this beautiful season.

However, in the decades since then, Christmas has become very popular here, and though Hogmany remains the biggest nationwide celebration of the winter, Christmas is observed by almost everyone in Scotland now. Gifts are exchanged, trees decorated, carols are sung, and Christmas lunch or dinner is enjoyed by all the family!
In fact, Christmas celebrations in Scotland have taken many of their cues from nations such as the United States, who have a much longer history of celebrating it in a jubilant way. Comments comments. Scottish Christmas – traditions for all. Hogmanay. Hogmanay-Feuerwerk in Edinburgh.
History of the Scottish Clans. The Scottish clan system is one of the most defining features of Scottish culture, from its origins shrouded in myth and legend – to the thriving communities spread worldwide today.
Scottish clans historically were groups related by blood, or oaths of fealty to the clan chief, and most clan members shared a surname – either by birth or by choosing to adopt the surname of their chieftain.
