St Andrew’s Day is one of the most well-known holidays in Scotland, with Scots and Scots-at-heart celebrating Scotland’s patron saint with celebrations across the land.
Surprisingly, despite being Scotland’s patron saint, St Andrew wasn’t actually Scottish! He was born in Bethsaida, Galilee (now known as Israel) but didn’t become patron saint until the Declaration of Arbroath in 1320.
That’s not all. St Andrew is actually the patron saint of Greece, Russia, Amalfi in Italy, and Barbados too. He is also patron saint of the Order of the Thistle, one of the highest ranks of chivalry in the world, second only to the Order of the Garter!
Each year a fantastic programme of events takes place to celebrate St Andrew, including traditional ceilidhs, eclectic live music, local food & drink on offer to try, traditional tunes and lots more all over the country. It’s a great time of the year to let your hair down and get a real taste of Scottish history and tradition.
