The Clavie
www.hogmanay.net/events/burghhead
In Burghead every year on the 11th January the Clavie, a burning barrel of tar, is carried in procession through the village in enthusiastic celebration of the old-style New Year, finally being placed on a pedestal known as the Clavie Stone on the Doorie Hill. Tradition has it that possession of a piece of the burning Clavie brings good luck during the coming year.
