In Scottish tradition, particularly during Hogmanay, the first footer—someone who is the first to enter a home after midnight—is ideally dark-haired as it symbolizes good luck and prosperity for the coming year. The belief stems from the idea that a dark-haired person represents strength and stability, in contrast to a light-haired individual who might symbolize the opposite. This custom is deeply rooted in folklore and is part of the broader celebratory practices surrounding the New Year in Scotland. The first footer often brings gifts, such as coal or bread, to ensure good fortune for the household.

Who traditionally enters a household first at scottish new year?
In Scotland the new year celebrations are called "Hogmanay" and last several days. One Hogmanay tradition is called "First footing", being the first to enter someones house. It is considered very good luck if a tall dark haired man is the first to enter your house in the new year, having a woman enter first is considered to be quite unlucky and worse so if she is blonde. It is also a custom to bring a lump of coal and some drink for your host (whiskey works best) and to have money in your possession. In modern days however nobody really brings coal since there are very few coal fires these days.
