Torchlight Procession kicks off Hogmanay 2011
Hogmanay is the world famous New Year festival held in Edinburgh. Best known for the New Year’s Eve street party which attracts upwards of 120,000 people every year, this is the largest New Year event in the world and is not to be missed!

Torchlight Procession
Kicking off Hogmanay is the Torchlight Procession.
Beth’s Recommendation: There are so many fantastic events planned for the end of 2010 and the beginning of 2011 it’s hard to choose but the Torchlight Procession from the Royal Mile, along Princes Street and up Calton Hill is my absolute favourite! My best advice to avoid long lines is to pick up your torch on the Royal Mile (near St Giles Cathedral) at least two hours ahead of time.
