I am really looking forward to the Hogmanay (New year's Eve in Scotland) street party in Edinburgh this year...

Today, Hogmanay includes huge celebrations on the streets of Glasgow and Edinburgh on New Year's Eve. More than one-hundred-thousand people attend these street parties. Bells ring at midnight.

如今，对“除夕夜”的庆典活动又包含了在格拉斯哥和爱丁堡的街上举行盛大的聚会，差不多有超过10万的人加入了街上组织的各种派对活动。
