Hogmanay Fireworks Display Above Edinburgh Castle

At midnight on 31st December the clocks strike twelve and fireworks explode out of Edinburgh Castle to mark the start of a brand new year. Thousands gather below the castle, many at the Edinburgh's Hogmanay Street Party on Princes Street, for this annual display which can be seen from vantage points across the city.

Revellers with tickets to the Concert in the Gardens are directly under the display in West Princes Street Gardens. Calton Hill also provides a longer range view of the Hogmanay Street Party and fireworks at midnight.

Following the fireworks, revellers lock arms to sing Auld Lang Syne.
