PapofGlencoe Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 (edited) Does any town or village still have their gala days etc? Within my lifetime seen cultural/.community events take a nosedive. Real shame. St Andrew's Day is as well being put on the list of missed opportunities. We really do everything wrong in this country. Hogmanay in Edinburgh is utter overpriced gash as well. corporatised to the max. standing in the cold watching fireworks...woweeee. Wee villages in Europe have a more liberal attitude than we do..with more going on. Edited November 30, 2016 by PapofGlencoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eisegerwind Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Chances of me celebrating a saint very unlikely. Shurely Scotland has an old history free of religious iconisism. (Possibly just made up the word 'iconnisism') I'd like to think I'm the guy up the back listening, thinking, you've just made that shit up.

It's no more celebrating a saint than waving the saltire is. St Andrew's links to Scotland were very tenuous, it's just a ceremonial label to have a day in his name.

Yeah, to be honest, I've always had a bit of an issue with that. However, I think it's fairly accepted that Christmas is a christian hijacking of various pre christian celebrations. I've certainly made my peace that christmas for me is the celebration of the winter equinox (21-23 dec). The fact that I've got to the darkest day of the year and will hopefully see the dawning of a new year means a lot to me (getting old does that), I can live with the fact that I'll celebrate it a couple of days late.
