Hogmanay
Edinburgh's New Year's Eve celebrations - known as Hogmanay - are a strong contender for European Party of the Year. With torchlit processions, rock concerts, and an amazing pyrotechnic display above the Castle, this is an unforgettable way to bring in the New Year.
The population of Edinburgh (a shade under half a million) almost doubles for Hogmanay, as visitors from around the world gather to enjoy the festivities and the warm hospitality of the Scots. Be prepared to organise your trip to Edinburgh well in advance though - transport and accommodation book up months in advance, and the streets of the Scottish capital in winter are not a good place to sleep rough.
A popular option for those wanting to experience Hogmanay for themselves but without the hassle is an organised tour.
