This and light shows should be the future. A lot more environmentally friendly than fireworks.
Here, here Mathew! Speak this out loud where it can be heard! I still heard fireworks where I live!!
It's not "should be"... it is the future. After this one there will be a boom, mark my words!
They did this in the winter Olympics
@@adama-k2710 which Olympics would that be? Could you get a link for me? I would like to see it please!

Magical and SO poignant! Getting such a strong message across in an innovative way! Proud to be a Scot and from Edinburgh. 💙🏴
So beautiful ❤️
We haven't stopped thinking of Scotland since we visited 3 years ago. Love it, miss it, can't wait to return.
It’s an amazing place - really leaves its mark on you!
Oh Scotland 🏴, how we've missed you this year.. Lochs, mountains, glens, the people, the wildlife... We can't wait to return 💙
Scotland rocks. Makes me proud to a part of humanity as a plural and not singular. And the 50 trolls that gave this a dislike ...well I guess you don’t get invited to parties much do you.
There's just no way you can actually not LOVE this.. so amazing
😂😂
Some folk merely exist to complain about something, unjustifiably, in many cases. It's the old "glass half full, or glass half empty" thing. Perhaps both views miss the point that, in a civilised, friendly society, someone will happily top up your glass. 🙂
It's so beautiful, I miss Scotland:(
I am honestly wonderstruck, your innovative light show and such poetic words reflecting our united thoughts of our long past traditions, struggles of this trying year, yet our hopes of a better tomorrow made me experience a wonderment like a child again. I wept when I saw the words Scotland over the castle, I felt emotional seeing my hometown, and I feel so proud that Scotland could share such a heartfelt message to seal the end of 2020 in such an innovative and creative way to share with the world. Well done to all the teams involved, you’ve done our nation proud. Lang may yer lum reek 🏴🥃🎉
Hear hear
Well said.
@@cantbendknee You are wrong "The word itself has been around since at least 1604 when it first appeared in written records." Scottish troops that I knew stationed in Berlin in the early 1980s celebrated Hogmanay!!! So , NO it is not just a "tourist" thing!!!
Hello
Yeah, you weren’t the only one to cry to see *Scotland* over Edinburgh Castle.
My old home town seems so far away..
B E A U T I F U !!!! We´ll keep a light on for you in the EU! Greetings from Austria and all the best!
The first time I watched I was in awe, the second time brought tears to my eyes - so beautiful Thank you Scotland!
Yeh the words of our makar were so poignant. As we say in Scotland we're a` freens. Meaning we're all friends. Happy new year. Here's tae a better wan 💖🏴
I have watched it 7 times since the new year, tears every single time.
thank you -" we send out hope into this Scottish air - by those who care, by those who march to ring the dangers, who've clocked the dangers" - spectacular
Just stunning! I cried. The music - the poetry - the hope for the future.- beautifully done.
I'm half scottish and have never been there but as soon as I'm graduating I am going to go! This is so beautiful! I love you Scotland :))
Did you come yet mate
you should go
Beautiful soundtrack and words spoken - we are one ☝️ from England 🏴 🏴 we love you all and stay safe in to a New Year.
Happy New Year. Stay safe 🏴

Hae a guid new year
I’m over here in Southern California watching this a year later and it’s still so affecting. ♥️Beautiful words.
Watched the entire thing with tears streaming down my face. The love and work and artistry and creativity that went into making this shine through as brightly as those beautiful, ethereal "light animations". It's a masterpiece - at once deeply personal and homely but also universal and inclusive. Bravo!
OMG, I am so proud of my Scots heritage. Thank you from my Hebridean heart.
As a patriot Scot this is what we’re all about! Gorgeous and breath taking display, all involved should be very proud of what you’ve created. Alba gu brath.
This is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. The lyrics, the illustrations, the music, the programming and all the different pieces that went into this artwork are all superb in their own category. Please turn on community contributions, so that we can add translations in many languages.
Happy new uear from Florida, 🇺🇸
Scotland 🏴 your people are Special like all across the world 🌎 Scotland your in my soul I love ❤️ this country this world 🌎❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is so beautiful! I really wish the fireworks displays will eventually become redundant. Congratulations to everyone involved in this precious project. I had tears in my eyes.
Thank you, Scotland and Underbelly for an amazing light show.
How is that even possible? I will watch this again and again. Awesome.
Without doubt the most creative and poignant Hogmanay message ever!!! I think I have something in my eye. The whole world is Scottish on Hogmanay and even more so after this wonderful piece. Thank You All!
Happy Hogmanay to our close European neighbours! Well done Scottish Arts! A beautiful and moving collaboration in which the medium is the message.
Incredible, hats off to all those involved. Brought a lump to my throat. 🏴
Absolutely amazing 🏴🏴🏴
A superb production, visually breathtaking and aurally beautiful too. Such a wonderful way to demonstrate all that has been and all that will be as we move into 2021. For all who have lost and suffered, worked tirelessly to support us and cared for others, we stand by you. Such emotive poetry performed with sensitivity. Thank you to all involved for giving us this gift 🎉🏴🍻🥃❤
Fantastic ! Thank you ! 🙏👍👏👏👏
Another excellent reason for loving and appreciating Scotland !!!
Imagine showing this to someone who lived 500 years ago
witchcraft
It would be seen as a message from the gods, to whom the people would respond, by turning away from Mammon, listening to their prophets, and realigning their values. May it have the same effect today. We can afford to care for each other and we can have a culture based on something other than consumption.
Imagine it 20 yrs ago!!
This is amazing! Now, 45 years since I drove to Scottish Highlands along with my brother over the Forth Bridge on A9 to Blair Atholl-Inverness-Gairloch from Finland. Happy New Year!
Amazing! We love Scotland 🌎💚
Many thanks to the "drone pilots" for their magical show.
Just amazing! How could anyone NOT like this? I am in tears, and so damn proud to be Scottish.
DANKE from Germany for this wonderful and amazing show. Happy new Year Scotland and to all of you.
Funny. I’m from Canada, but did business in Germany and the love of my life was from Scotland (didn’t work out). Love this video, but also breaks my Heart. Peace and love to everyone across the globe, and Linda, if you see this, know you are in my thoughts and heart.
They are genixs, it's magic. Good vibes, from Patagonia Argentina
Loved seeing this display! What a great alternative to fireworks - and way more impressive in my opinion!
Love, love, love - Hogmanay is my "new" tradition
Words like these make you proud to be Scottish 🏴. Amazing display. Would love to see this every year! Happy New Year to all!
Brilliant. Innovative. Powerful. Thank you.
A wee tear comes to me eye on such beauty I have seen in the sky. Thank you Scotland as we breath in a new year's air from us all. A round at Ryan’s when I can return. Again thank you.
Third time I'm watching this. Very moving. Thank you very much Scotland and wish everybody good health for 2021 from Holland.
Happy New Year. Stay safe🏴
Soooo good; a descendant of Cuthbertsons and MacGregors watching from Wyoming USA, and a beginner Gàidhlig student

Stay safe friend, keep well.
Need to be reminded daily of the possibility of concerted beauty to heal people's hearts and minds...so uplifting and lovely. Thank-you to all the artists and others who made this experience possible.
Dear Underbelly Ltd, thank you for that. You did yourselves, and Edinburgh, proud. What a show. Many thanks.
So moved I have no words, only tears of awe and gratitude.
Absolutely beautiful, compelling watching. Perfect for the times we are in together. Thank you.
Just listening to it makes you appreciate the poetry and music. I hope the audio gets released on music streaming platforms.
Thank you for glorious beauty and messages. From, Minnesota USA
Outstanding! Thank you from Canada.
Amazing! Happy New year from the Netherlands.
Absolutely fantastic and very moving.
Well done to everyone on the production of this amazing project. It has to be regarded as one of the most poignant and innovative New Year message that resonates around the globe. Simply stunning !
Thank you for sharing and offering us the chance to “re-visit” Scotland and be part of Hogmanay! 🎉💥🏴
Remarkable piece of work. Really catches the spirit of the time. Well done all involved.
Love how they used the Gealic and Scots lingo, made it feel more scottish. They are both such beautiful Languages.
I think I could hear David Tennant? 🤔
Yes, he's listed in the credits.
Thank you for these wonderful pictures. I wish us all back to normality in 2021. Happy New Year. Greetings from Luxembourg :-)
Touching to tears! Thank you all those who have organised and showed us all this Beauty!
Beautiful, moving and true to 2020. Blessing to all for 2021 may it be a better year. x
So beautiful and sad in the same breath. more special than any firework display could ever be. A grown-up prayer of loss and found and a kinder way for our environment and to us all. I loved this so much more than all the noise of a usual New Year. The poetry was stunning with a gentle slumber into another year. Thank you, Scotland for showing a better way, for humanity.
Imaginative, magical, stunning.
Truly AMAZING! It’s truly mesmerizing to watch & listen to. Thank you for this. UP SCOTLAND! 🏴🏴 from San Francisco 🇺🇸🏴🇮🇪
OMG this is so amazing. Love Scottland❤️
What a moving, empathetic event! It certainly got to the bottom of the issue and so exquisitely expressed it. I was so moved by this Hogmanay - seeing the reality for so many being recognised and respected really lifted me up with hope for the future! Thank you!
A wonderful thing from a wonderful team at Underbelly and Celestial. Braw!!
What a wonderful collaboration, and a lovely way to end the year. I watched from Melbourne, Australia where it has been 30 degrees Celsius today.
Can’t even imagine that! It’s been snowing here for days... 😂
Oh for a bit of heat. -2 last night here in Scotland. I was proud when I heard what was going to be done for hogmanay. Happy New Year to our Australian brothers n sisters.

That was impressive, truly.
Can't help but wonder what the audience of the “War of the Worlds" broadcast would have made of this
Thank you, Scotland and the people involved in this masterpiece.
Absolutely stunning!Feels as if I was transported up to Heaven!!
Hahaha you are crazy
This was wholly inspiring. I never imagined something as good as this could be put together. It's a stunning piece of collaborative art that is much more than the sum of its parts, and speaks not just to each of us as individuals, Scots, but as a collective humanity in what has been the most difficult year that we have lived through since the second World War. Not so much the traditional Hogmanay food of whisky and black bun, but sustenance for the soul. A humble thank you to all involved.
Stunning!! You’ve done us proud!🏴
New tradition: I m coming to this video every NY's eve.
Part one in particular was very moving,perfectly made visually,with poetry and music that truly reflected Scots feelings and thoughts during a horrendous year for everyone...we''l get there in the end though,stay safe and strong everyone.
I agree I found part one the most moving in the Highlands and also the poetry was deeply felt.
@@suzihawkins4352 Indeed,it was very beautiful,Suzi.
AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL A HEART MASTER PIECE THANK YOU
STUNNING , everyone should watch this, well done Scotland. Happy new year. Greetings from Ireland 🍀
