New Year's Day
editUntil the 14th century, England observed the new year at the December solstice. It is not impossible that Scotland could be using the same dating at that time. England then shifted the new year to 25 March (which suggests a 15-month year for the transition!), before changing to 1 January starting with 1752 (making 1751 only nine months and seven days long). However, the lack of snow on the ground in this episode gives a lean toward an early spring date for New Year's. Scotland's lairds might have agreed to synch with England for sake of communication between the two kingdoms. GBC (talk) 15:53, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
