Hogmanay

Only two Jocks had got out and kept their Hogmanay elsewhere and quite elsehow—a creditably small proportion out of forty men.

On the night of Hogmanay, at about half-past ten, the regiment assembles in the barrack square.

Each child gets a quadrant of oat-cake (sometimes with cheese), and this is called the “Hogmanay.”

A number of young men of the clan were invited by their chief to pass Hogmanay night in his castle at Dunvegan.
