  • Ballsy to be an atheist in a place like 18th century Scotland! I don’t think I can understate just how religious Scotland was back in the day, and how Presbyterian it was. Christmas didn’t become an official Holiday here until 1958, Boxing day wasn’t an Official Holiday until 1974. The reason why Hogmanay is such a big thing here (it’s basically our national Holiday) was because Pre-Reformation, people when mad on Christmas. When the Reformation happened, that stopped (because Christmas “wasn’t biblical”), so everyone moved their festivities to New Years Eve.
