In which city is the Hogmanay Concert in the Gardens held as part of New Year's Eve celebrations?

The story behind the answer

The Hogmanay Concert in the Gardens is held in Edinburgh as part of its New Year's Eve celebrations.

Edinburgh's Hogmanay is a major multi-day festival centered on the transition from December 31 to January 1. The Concert in the Gardens takes place in Princes Street Gardens, beneath the city's Old Town and Edinburgh Castle, and features live music for a large ticketed audience.

The festival also includes a street party and other events, although exact programming can change from year to year. Its name uses Hogmanay, the Scots term for New Year's Eve, but the concert is specifically associated with Edinburgh rather than with Scotland as a whole.

The city is sometimes confused with Glasgow because both are major Scottish cities with strong cultural calendars. Edinburgh's castle setting, Princes Street location, and branded Hogmanay program identify the Concert in the Gardens as an Edinburgh event.
