When I'm busy chasing haggis around the Scottish Highlands on St Andrew's Day, Sunday 30th November 2008 the official start date for hunting haggis season, many hundred's of thousands of Scots around the world will be holding special St Andrew's Day parties and events to celebrate Scotland's patron Saint, St Andrew. St Andrew's Day is Scotland's National Day to celebrate Scottish culture, food and dance.
St Andrew's Day celebrations are held all over Scotland, and the rest of the globe. Normally more St Andrew's Day parties and celebrations are held abroad by Scottish Expats living outwith Scotland than people living in Scotland. St Andrew's Day parties and events range from Ceilidhs, dances and dinners from as far as Sydney in Australia, Siberia in Russia and California in the USA.
