====Edinburgh's Hogmanay==== {{Main|Edinburgh's Hogmanay}} [[File:Edinburgh Hogmanay Longship.jpg|thumb|A Viking [[longship]] being burnt during Edinburgh's annual [[Hogmanay]] celebrations]] The annual Edinburgh [[Hogmanay]] celebration was originally an informal street party focused on the [[Tron Kirk]] in the Old Town's High Street. Since 1993, it has been officially organised with the focus moved to Princes Street. In 1996, over 300,000 people attended, leading to ticketing of the main street party in later years up to a limit of 100,000 tickets.<ref name="Hogmanay">{{Cite web |date=10 May 2006 |title=Hogmanay-the Scottish New Year |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A10358165 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110102131548/http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A10358165 |archive-date=2 January 2011 |access-date=13 January 2011 |publisher=BBC}}</ref> Hogmanay now covers four days of processions, concerts and fireworks, with the street party beginning on Hogmanay. Alternative tickets are available for entrance into the Princes Street Gardens concert and [[Cèilidh]], where well-known artists perform and ticket holders can participate in traditional Scottish cèilidh dancing. The event attracts thousands of people from all over the world.<ref name="Hogmanay" />
