Unique art and whisky collaboration highlights New Year celebrations around the world


In a collaboration with The Macallan titled A Night On Earth In Scotland, acclaimed Japanese-French illustrator Erica Dorn highlights historic fire rituals that are present in New Year celebrations around the world.

With Chinese New Year fast approaching, it is interesting to note that no matter how differently cultures around the world celebrate the turning of a year, they all have some things in common.

Fire, in particular, is a universal theme among many New Year celebrations around the world – from the explosive fireworks of Chinese New Year to the warm fireplaces of Scotland.
