There was something in the air that night, the stars were bright, for Nando’s.
Still can’t figure out what Hogmanay has to do with cosplay Vikings
Ah, of course! Edinburgh, famously settled by the vikings. This makes sense.
Looks great – lots of folk having fun!
My partner and I used to attend that every year for quite some time. Then we had a kid and it stopped. I miss going.
Once he’s old enough, we’ll do it again.
I was very glad we didn’t get tickets, after thinking we might. We watched from roughly the spot of the main image above for about half an hour, then walked to Middle Meadow Walk to see them coming up the slope. Then through Quartermile, only to see thousands still queuing as far as Melville Drive, then diagonally back to the bottom of Chalmers St, then back nearly to Tolcross. By the time the last people got their torches lit, the starters would be on their way home! Several hours standing around whatever way you cut it.

Neat cosplay
I like the lights decorating the band!
It’s about time this festival came south. The Shetlanders have had to themselves for too long
Nando’s getting into guerilla marketing
Good to see its went ahead this year. Normally always gets cancelled bc of the pishy winter weather 🏴
Well done I love you guys can’t wait to get back there
