Hogmanay
Hogmanay
Hogmanay is the Scottish word for the last day of the year and is synonymous with the celebration of the New Year in the Scottish manner. However, it is normally only the start of a celebration that lasts through the night until the morning of New Year's Day or, in some cases, 2 January which is a Scottish Bank Holiday.
The Hogmanay street party on 31 December is the main event, and is held in the city centre. In addition, Princes Street Gardens hosts a live music concert, and East Princes Street Gardens and Mound Square host the Ceilidh in the Gardens open air party.
At the stroke of midnight, fireworks illuminate the hills around the city, and form a stunning backdrop to Edinburgh Castle.
