What Is Hogmanay?What Is Hogmanay?, Thousands of people are expected to gather in Edinburgh to see in the new year at the city’s world-famous Hogmanay street party.

Meanwhile, a huge free party featuring the Hoodja, Bags of Rock, Wolfstone and Skerryvore is to be held in Inverness.

The Red Hot Chilli Pipers and Eddi Reader will help Stirling Castle revellers see in the bells.

In Aberdeen, a free firework display is to be set off from the roof of His Majesty’s Theatre in the city centre.

Glasgow is hosting a family day, due to end at 22:00, with traditional music and children’s activities.

The city council had previously said it was not holding a street party this year due to the cost.

Edinburgh, which has been dubbed the “home of Hogmanay”, expects to attract about 80,000 party-goers to welcome in 2012.

Scots rockers Primal Scream are to headline the sold-out Concert in the Gardens against the backdrop of the castle.
