The celebrations kick off on the 30th December, with the spectacular Torchlight Procession. The famous Shetland Vikings lead thousands of revellers through Edinburgh’s Old Town and along Princess Street. The city is illuminated by the golden, orange glow of the torch bearers as they snake their way along the streets finishing up at Calton Hill for the firework display.

Whether you decide to take part in the parade itself or simply spectate, this evening event is one that will leave you feeling all warm and fuzzy inside. It’s the perfect warm up for our legendary HAGGiS Ceilidh!

Highlighted as one of the ‘Top 10 0 things to do before you die’ and recently the only festival to appear in the ‘Discovery Channel – Top 25 World Travel Experiences’, Edinburgh’s Hogmanay Street Party is one of the world’s greatest New Year celebrations.

Revellers from all corners of the Globe head to the streets of Edinburgh on the 31st December to bring in the New Year Scottish Style. Four street party stages and 8 large screens cover the live bands, DJ’s and traditional Scottish music throughout the evening. Fireworks are let off on the hour from 9pm culminating in the ground rumbling, heart thumping eye popping finale at midnight.

Street Party tickets included as part of the tour package.

Not many people choose to swim in the sea on New Year’s Day in Scotland (it’s a wee bit chilly) but for those mad enough to take the plunge, the appropriately named ‘Loony Dook’ is just the thing.

Fancy dress is a must as you follow the parade along the length of South Queensferry High Street before braving the freezing waters. Locals and alike are there cheering you crazy people on, and it’s well worth it as proceeds from the ticket sales go towards charity. This has to be one of HAGGiS’ favourite events.
