 On McStorytellers today, we take a stroll down memory lane with Edinburgh-born poet Roger McKillop as he recalls, in Scots verse, those happy family Hogmanay celebrations of times gone by.
Here’s tae us!  Making his McStorytellers debut on this fine Sunday is Edinburgh writer David Christie with Lunch for Two, the tale of a concert pianist turned tutor turned dirty old man.

Na zdorovie!
