After a disappointing last-minute cancellation last year, Edinburgh Hogmanay is back! 🥳 🎇

And Edinburgh is the UK’s master of saying goodbye to the old year in style with a spectacular nine-minute display launched from Edinburgh Castle at midnight. 🏰🎇🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

But where can you watch it from?

1. Get the best free view from the classic spot: 📍Calton Hill. 🌆
2. For families, head to 📍Inverleith Park for space and a clear view. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦
3. Adventurers can hike up 📍Arthur’s Seat for a panoramic city view. ⛰️
4. Find a great wide-angle view at 📍The Meadows.
5. New for 2025: check out the trial zones on 📍The Mound and 📍George Street! 🆕

Remember, warm-up fireworks also burst at 9pm, 10pm & 11pm. ⏰

Wrap up very warm, get there early, and be ready to walk—the centre is pedestrian-only! 🚶‍♀️❄️

Honestly, it’s the most and unforgettable way to start a new year. 🥂

Let’s take a 360-degree look at Edinburgh and its Christmas Market from the Scott Monument! 🎡🏙️

This towering Victorian Gothic spire (not a cathedral many mistake it for) on Princes Street is the world’s largest monument to a writer, honoring Sir Walter Scott. Visitors can climb 287 steps to breathtaking viewing platforms. ✍️✨

Designed by the winning architect, George Meikle Kemp, who was a self-taught draftsman with a passion for Gothic ruins. Legend has it that as a young man, he was once given a lift in Scott’s own carriage - a touching full-circle moment.

📌 Visitor Info:

· A small museum on the first floor details Scott’s life.
· Entry: A climb now includes a guided tour (no solo climbs). Check the City of Edinburgh Council website for current prices (around £8-£9 for adults).
· Hours: Generally opens daily at 10 am, with seasonal closing times and a lunch break (usually ~12:30-1:45 pm).

Edinburgh Now and Then 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

📍Forth Bridge photographed from South Queensferry

The Forth Bridge is a world-renowned cantilever railway bridge in Scotland, connecting Edinburgh with Fife across the Firth of Forth, famous as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and an engineering marvel completed in 1890 by engineers like John Fowler and Benjamin Baker. It was the first major steel structure in Britain, a symbol of Victorian engineering, and remains a vital transport link, part of a trio of Forth bridges that span the estuary, noted for its distinctive red design and immense scale.
