Edinburgh Hogmanay 2013-2014 New Year's Eve Fireworks - Full

The Scots know how to put on a show for New Year's, and this year was no exception! From 9pm over fourteen acts cater to your tastes, from the traditional Keilidhs to the electro pop sensation Pet Shop Boys.
Every year Hogmanay in Edinburgh is divided into different sections of entertainment: The Concert in the Gardens, The Street Party (with the Waverly Stage and Scottish Stage), The Keilidh Stage and Rewinder Stage.
Among the highlights were Django Django and Chvrches while on the Scottish Stage revellers were entertained by King Creosote, Treacherous Orchestra and Fiddlers' Bid. Revellers throughout the Street Party were all dancing to the same tune, as Rewinder returned, this time showcasing Scotland's impact on the modern world in an exclusive multi-media mix of floor filling tunes.
The Keilidh saw around 2,750 revellers enjoying Scottish roots artists including Hugh McDiarmid's Haircut, the Black Rose Ceilidh Band and Box Fizz well as having fun on the Edinburgh Wheel and New Year Carnival.
The Street Party kicked off with the Homecoming Hogmanay Fireworks from Calton Hill at 20:14 followed by countdown fireworks at 9.00pm and 10.00pm. A full Homecoming Hogmanay display at 11.00pm signalled one hour to go till the climax of the evening, the Midnight Fireworks.
Headliners Pet Shop Boys were supported by The 1975 group as well as local acts Nina Nesbitt and The 10:04s, and wowed the crowds with a party mix of their greatest hits at the sell-out Concert in the Gardens.
Every section was a ticket-only event (even for the Street Party), so tickets needed to be purchased well in advance in order to secure your place for the New Year countdown. As you can imagine, the streets were packed so I only chose to explore a couple of venues - The Keilidh and the Pet Shop Boys in the Gardens.
The Keilidh wasn't too crowded, and I enjoyed learning the dances. It could have done with a bit more lighting in the crowd so that we could avoid bumping into people, but generally spirits were high. The Pet Shop Boys were at their best, playing hit after hit, and seeing in the New Year until 1am. The view of the fireworks was spectacular as they lit up the sky from behind the stage from the Castle, which lasted five minutes. It's shorter than the London fireworks, but at least in Edinburgh there's entertainment to coincide with the celebration. It was an unusually warm night too, whilst in London revelers were rained on after hours of standing around waiting for New Year.
