Edinburgh's Hogmanay celebration includes the traditional torchlight procession.
The Edinburgh Torchlight Procession is a major event in the city's Hogmanay program. Participants carry flaming torches through the historic city, creating a moving river of light before the main New Year's celebrations. The procession has become one of the festival's most recognizable opening events.
Edinburgh's wider Hogmanay program includes concerts, street celebrations, fireworks, and events around the Old Town and New Town. The city's dramatic setting, including Calton Hill and Edinburgh Castle, gives the festivities a distinctive visual character.
Hogmanay itself is Scotland's name for New Year's Eve, so similar customs occur elsewhere in the country. The question points specifically to the internationally known torchlight procession associated with Edinburgh. It should not be confused with Up Helly Aa, a separate Shetland winter fire festival held in January, or with ordinary New Year's fireworks.
