New Years Eve options in Edinburgh

- Definitely get street party tickets in Edinburgh, whether you spend the entire evening there or not, as it allows you critical access to the heart of the city, which you may need in order to get to other activities like a ceilidh ("Kay-lee"). Street party and most other city parties go from 9p to 1a.

- Consider attending the Candlight Concert at the St Giles cathedral from 730p to 9p. It's a beautiful church and wonderful classical concert.

- Definitely attend one of the ceildh's - the outdoor one also treats you to the midnight fireworks. You will enjoy learning the scottish folk dances with thousands of new friends. Many people there are also learning the moves for the first time, so you are not alone, and it's a lot of fun.

-Download the full lyrics to the Auld Lang Syne and bring them with you, and you will sing like a pro at midnight.

- and the #1 PLANNING CONSIDERATION: ARRIVE TO THE STREET PARTY BEFORE 11PM, OR THE OFFICIALS WILL NOT LET YOU IN! This was the case in 2008/09 - so make sure you read the fine print on your ticket about access.
