【November 30 2014】In Edinburgh today, local Scots gather on this hill to look down on the city while pipers play a patriotic tune. Happy Scottish National Day! St. Andrew is the patron saint of Scotland, and the holiday now called Scottish National Day was once simply St. Andrew's Day. The celebration is most enthusiastic in Scotland, but other countries commemorate St. Andrew as well. You can find St. Andrew's Day events in Austria, Barbados, the Czech Republic, Germany, Greece, Poland, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, and Ukraine. Whew!
