In Scotland's Hogmanay celebrations, what is the name of the large torchlight procession held in Edinburgh?

Edinburgh's Torchlight Procession is the large torchlit parade held as part of the city's Hogmanay celebrations.

The procession traditionally moves through central Edinburgh toward an ending point associated with the city's New Year's festivities. Participants carry flaming torches, creating a large moving stream of light through the streets and making the event one of Scotland's most recognizable Hogmanay spectacles.

Hogmanay is the Scottish celebration of New Year's Eve and has its own terminology and customs. The torchlight event is distinct from first-footing, the practice of visiting homes after midnight, and from the concerts and street parties held around Princes Street.

Names and routes have changed across different editions, and events can be affected by weather or public-safety decisions. The canonical event name is Edinburgh's Torchlight Procession, rather than a generic description such as a fire festival.
