Edinburgh fireworks

Firework displays provide a fitting and spectacular grand finale to many events held in the city, with the largest pyrotechnic extravaganzas marking the end of the International Festival and the stroke of midnight at Hogmanay (new year). Large numbers of residents and visitors congregate at suitable vantage points all around the city and even further afield … across the Firth of Forth for example. These photographs show fireworks over Edinburgh Castle as viewed from a number of popular locations. They include a mixture of images from the Festival Fireworks Concert, the Military Tattoo and Hogmanay.
