Festive season 2006

Scotland comes alive again this winter as thousands of people celebrate the festive season.

The arts and culture play a very important role in the festive season and we've again come up with some ideas to help you fill Santa's stocking, recommendations for Christmas events and Hogmanay highlights across Scotland.

Be sure to look at the January 2007 highlights too for a taste of some exciting events planned for the New Year.

The Scottish Arts Council wishes all its website visitors, wherever they are, a merry Christmas, happy Hogmanay and happy holidays throughout the festive season.
