Another fine mess! So many "lessons” piling up on the “to be learned” file!

St Andrew’s Day 2022: Who is Saint Andrew and why does Scotland celebrate him?

I notice the article says that 30 November has been recognised as a public holiday since 2006. Having lived in St Andrews for over 30 years, it's only in the last 10 years or so that anything publicly significant has ever been put on, although there has been a Beating of the Retreat by the local pipe band for about 20 years.

Celebrated far more by Scots ex-pats in other parts of the world than in Scotland itself!
