Udgivelsesdato: Dec 27, 2022

Margherita Taylor is in Auchindrain, a fascinating and perfectly preserved example of a Scottish Highland farm township to discover the roots and traditions surrounding New Year and Burns’ Night. She discovers how tough life was and why Christmas was once illegal in Scotland. And she delves into the Countryfile archive to celebrate other seasonal customs, revisiting the time Ellie Harrison embraced Coorie and when John Craven learned about the ancient tradition of Gaelic psalm singing.
