pubs and restaurants, which are very crowded on that night.
There is a great atmosphere when everyone waits for Big Ben to strike midnight. Then people kiss and hold hands to
sing the traditional Scottish song Auld Lang Syne. Many people also light fireworks at midnight.

tall dark-haired man. He should bring a piece of coal, some bread, salt or bottle of whisky to bring good luck to the
family.
