There is no other city in the world that can compare to Edinburgh when it comes to celebrating Hogmanay, after all Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland and Hogmanay is the quintessential Scottish holiday. Nowhere else in the world is it celebrated like in Edinburgh.

Hogmanay breaks in Edinburgh have become a massive tradition, the celebrations in Princes Street have grown in stature, even if the weather can sometimes be what you should expect at that time of year, but sometimes it can be very mild too. And if you wrap up well enough then it doesn’t matter how cold it is the camaraderie, the fireworks and a little glass of scotch whisky will help you through the night.

But if you really wish there are several taverns & hotels along Princes Street where you can sit inside with a glass in hand, and enjoy the whole spectacle with the comfort of a roaring fire and your family in nice warm surroundings. Afterwards you can toddle off to bed looking forward to a great new year.

Edinburgh is the place to be at Hogmanay.
