On 29 December we took part in the annual Torchlight Procession, which starts on the Royal Mile and finishes with a bonfire and fireworks on Calton Hill. It's an amazing experience being part of this river of light with around 20,000 (!) people taking part. You buy your torch for £6 on the Royal Mile (the money goes to a city charity) and queue up, or you can simply watch the procession snake down the Mound and onto Princes Street. Highly recommended if you find yourself in or around Edinburgh for Hogmanay! (pic courtesy of Difa!)Tuesday, 6 January 2009

I'm going to join in the torchlight procession in Dumfries on Burns Night to mark Burns' 250th anniversary and the start of 2009 The Homecoming. I must try and get pics like this!
Great word Hogmanay. And impressive procession.
wonderful image.
I would like to exchange links with your site www.blogger.com
Is this possible?
