Hogmanay is New Year's Eve and more in Scotland. It is Scotland's biggest winter holiday - far bigger than Christmas in terms of public celebrations and festivities that often go on for four days or more! Here's where to go for Scotland's biggest and most Exciting Hogmanay parties:
- Edinburgh Hogmanay From December 29 to January 1, Edinburgh holds the biggest New Year's Eve party in the world.
- Glasgow Hogmanay Who would credit it, that a town with such a hard man reputation as Glasgow would roll up the pavements at 10p.m. for Hogmanay? But that's the hard truth. For Hogmanay in Glasgow. There are no big public celebrations planned. But the pubs, clubs and music venues will be lively if you want to make your own fun.
- Stirling Hogmanay In 2016, Stirling plans "A Night to Remember" on New Year's Even. Their Carnival of Light and Sound will include a light parade along King Street with lanterns and light sculptures plus music and street entertainers. The parade will wind through the city center towards Kings Park where - from 7 to 9 pm - there will be two hours of free entertainment for all ages. And, of course, at the stroke of midnight, there will be spectacular fireworks.
