Fare Well Part 2 - Edinburgh's Hogmanay 2020

[@reneebrown3766]

Gone the ear shattering explosions disturbing man and beast, instead, a feast of poetic peace. Gone, the repetitive blinding flashes on the eye and gone the sulfurous, sickly smells, which once permeated crystal clear Scottish air, as now in awe we gaze upon the triumphant unmatched display, heralding in Scotland's New Year.

This is why Scotland is the best wee country in the world 🌎 💙 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@dmeyer4931]

Agreed. My dad migrated from Scotland and we are living in New Zealand, another brilliant wee country in the world. Stay safe people, we are currently Covid free in my community and have been since May. We know how lucky we are.

[@TheMelbo]

Can’t argue with that.

@@dmeyer4931 Scotland is a shit hole, I live there, but I am waiting to finish a project and get the hell away from there. Shit food, shit weather and boring. Flats are expensive and in general shitty. A show does not give a place good life quality.

[@naomiaustin7813]

I've now experienced 28 Hogmanays in Edinburgh since 1990 & I can't think of anywhere I'd rather see in a New Year - only missed a couple due to illness so being able to watch this means everything to me. Thank you to everyone who put this together and Jackie Kay for the most beautiful words. Wishing everyone the best for 2021 and Edinburgh Hogmanay - HASTE YE BACK!

Wonderful heart touching words and a touching voice. Best I've ever heard and seen for end of year, called Hogmanay in Scotland 😍. Much more better than firework, noise and party elsewhere. My heart belongs to Scotland; greetings from Switzerland 🙋‍♂️
