Steak pie dinners and gutting the house before the bells, we have loads of traditions in Glasgow.
The festive period is a nostalgic time of year, but there's something about Hogmanay that gets just about everyone talking about the 'good old days' - whether you're 19 or 90.
Maybe it's those rose-tinted glasses, or perhaps it really is the case that there was just something special about all the old Hogmanay traditions Glasgow enjoyed back in the "olden days." After all, who doesn't look getting a glimpse into the celebrations of the past in productions like The Steamie?
So, we're going to take a look back at seven of the Hogmanay traditions that were all the rage when your granny was young.Who doesn't remember stomping over to their granny or neighbour's house on Hogmanay, ready to see in the bells in style? After all, nobody knows how to put on a party quite like Glasgow. There was nothing more fun than watching all your family and friends letting their hair down and bringing in the new year with a couple of drams .
These days, it's hard to imagine Glasgow ever fully grinding to a halt for anything. So just think that decades ago every shop and business in the city would shut its doors early in time to prepare for the huge celebrations that night. It also gave them all a chance to run off to do all that Hogmanay cleaning.If you were blessed with a family member that was a talented cook, then you would be treated to a Hogmanay feast of homemade steak pie, mashed potatoes and peas.
