FOOTAGE on social media has shown people enjoying a brilliant St Andrew’s Day ceilidh in a Scottish town.
A number of people shared videos on Twitter/X of people in the town enjoying a giant ceilidh – with similar footage of the town also going viral last year.
Writing on social media, adviser to John Swinney Olaf Stando said: “Happy St Andrew’s Day everyone, from St Andrews.

“No better way to spend it than a ceilidh street party.”
The event was part of this year’s Big Hoolie which, unlike last year, fell on St Andrew’s Day this year.

Many others also shared their own footage with one joking they were being “thrown around like a lunatic” but that they were “loving it” at the event.
Independent councillor for the Bannockburn ward Alasdair MacPherson meanwhile simply commented “brilliant”.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
