Hogmanay, New Year Held in Edinburgh [Picture Gallery]
Hogmanay means New Year in Scotland. Edinburgh started its organised Hogmanay events from 1993 into 1994. Since the first organised Hogmanay started in Edinburgh, they have become bigger and better with people from all over the world trying to get a ticket for this event. Before the organised events began, the people of Edinburgh would bring in the New Year at the Tron Kirk on the Royal Mile where some people still gather as a tradition.
Hairstyles being created at The Hogmany Events in Edinburgh [Picture Gallery]
At the Night Afore in Edinburgh, there is street theatre. This is where the hairdressers and stylists work. They work away all night creating unseen hair designs so that the visitors to Edinburgh can look their best for Hogmanay. Thousands of people watch what is going on as the hairdressers and stylist clip and style the models who have been selected from the audience. This is so that they can experience what it's like to get the big star treatment.
Edinburgh's First Organised Hogmanay - New Year 1993 into 1994 [Picture Gallery]
In 1993 into 1994 Edinburgh started its first organised Hogmanay Celebrations. These images have been taken from the video which I was using at that time for making documentaries. I have taken some of these images and created a picture gallery so that you see some of that first organised Hogmanay which has now become a worldwide event.
