Hogmanay 2013 - Happy New Year!

Hogmanay is the Scottish New Years celebration, which begins on New Years Eve and ends sometime later, usually on New Years Day. The city of Edinburgh kick off the festivities with a grand fireworks display above the castle and from Calton Hill. I was on Calton Hill at midnight December 31st, and took some photos as well as celebrating.

The National Monument of Scotland, with the Saltire Cross projected above it.
