Burning of the Clavie
Burning the clavie is an ancient Scottish custom still observed at Burghead, a fishing village on the Moray Firth. The ''clavie'' is a collection of casks split in two, lighted as a bonfire in the evening of 11 January, i.e. New Year's Eve (in Scotland, Hogmanay) by the Julian Calendar. One of these casks is joined together again by a huge nail (Latin ''clavis''; hence the term, it may also be from Scottish Gaelic ''cliabh'', a basket used for holding combustibles). It is then filled with tar, lighted and carried flaming round the village and finally up to a headland upon which stands the ruins of an altar, locally called the ''Douro''. It here forms the nucleus of the bonfire, which is built up of split casks. When the burning tar-barrel falls in pieces, the people scramble to get a lighted piece with which to kindle the New Year's fire on their cottage hearth. The charcoal of the ''clavie'' is collected and put in pieces up the cottage chimneys, to keep spirits and witches from coming down.

The Clavie is a half-cask, mounted securely on a pole, and filled with staves of wood and inflammable liquid.

It is followed by a procession of hundreds of onlookers. On the route through the town, the Clavie Crew hands pieces of the Clavie - smouldering pieces of wood - to householders to ensure good luck for the ensuing year.
