Edinburgh fireworks herald in 2011 in a blaze of glory
Fireworks from Calton Hill, Edinburgh
Fireworks soar above Calton Hill to usher in 2011. Edinburgh Castle to welcome in 2010.
And for those of you who are thinking about coming to celebrate with us for 2012 here’s a visitor’s impression.
Beth’s Recommendation: Have a great 2011 filled with good health, happiness, success, fun and laughter!!
Auld Lang Syne by Robert Burns (1788)
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
Re:solution Wall in Edinburgh
We all make resolutions every new year and then, well, sometimes we don’t actually make them a reality. This year can be different with Scotland’s Re:solution Wall standing outside the Parliament building at the foot of the Royal Mile today. This is a place where we can share our hopes and plans for the future. This is another Hogmanay activity provided for free in Edinburgh.
Beth’s Recommendation: If you can’t make it to Edinburgh then you can post your resolution for the world to see on the Edinburgh Hogmanay website. To help inspire you here is a streaming video webcam of the Royal Mile.
