Comment from Zoe Smith
Despite the chilly nights and overcast skies, Edinburgh’s winter schedule is jam-packed with festivities, kicking off with St Andrew’s Day (in honor of the patron Saint of Scotland) on November 30th. Christmas celebrations take center stage throughout December, with Europe’s largest open-air ice rink, a vibrant Christmas market and Santa’s grottos enveloping the city in festive cheer, but the real event of the year is New Year’s Eve, known as Hogmanay in Edinburgh.
