Celebrate Hogmanay & New Year with Us!
Hogmanay is Scotland’s lively way of welcoming the New Year, a night of music, laughter, and festive cheer. One of the quirkiest traditions is first footing, where the first person to cross the threshold after midnight sets the tone for the year ahead. Traditionally, a tall, dark-haired visitor brings luck - who will be our lucky first foot this year?
Join us at The Plough Hotel’s Hogmanay Party to bring in 2026 in style. Don your tartan, raise a glass, and enjoy a night of music and fun.
Then, on New Year’s Day, continue the celebrations with our famous quiz, a cheerful way to start 2026 with friends and laughter.
