Show New Year Kisses Began In Scotland The custom of interchanging purely pure-ly platonic New Year kisses started in Scotland. In the memoirs of Lord Langdale by Sir T. D. Hardy, it is recounted how just ' at 12 o'clock, wherever you may happen to be, you proceed to kiss the nearest girl by way of a New Year greeting. , In Scotland, no work was done on New Year's as late as 1904. No porters or crabs were at the Waver-ly Waver-ly station in Edinburgh, and a visiting vis-iting noble lord had to wend hit way to his hotel In a milk cart. |
