I am a little curious as to why you should mention Big Ben chiming at midnight (actually Big Ben strikes not chimes!) with reference to Hogmanay, seeing that Big Ben is in the clock tower of the Palace of Westminster in the middle of London, considered a foreign place by good Scots - but could it have something to do with your "Scotch" being further back? "Scotch" is whisky!
