Which landmark hosts Edinburgh's Hogmanay Concert in the Gardens on New Year's Eve?

The story behind the answer

Edinburgh's Hogmanay Concert in the Gardens is held in Princes Street Gardens.

The gardens lie in the center of Edinburgh beneath Edinburgh Castle and form one of the main venues for the city's multi-day Hogmanay program. The concert is part of a wider celebration that can include street events, torchlight processions, and a large midnight fireworks display.

“Hogmanay” is the Scottish term for New Year's Eve and, by extension, the associated festivities. Edinburgh's modern public celebration developed into an internationally known event during the late 20th century, drawing visitors for concerts and outdoor gatherings.

Princes Street Gardens should not be confused with nearby Calton Hill, another important viewpoint for city fireworks. The gardens are the named location of the Concert in the Gardens, while different events in the program use other parts of Edinburgh.
