A winter wonderland - Edinburgh

A New Year city break in Edinburgh offers enduring festive traditions such as candlelit concerts and choral performances at St Giles Cathedral and an alluring torch lit procession through the city streets. New Years day offers little respite from the fun and action with lots to see and do and especially rewarding for family city breaks. The famous Winter Fayre is the perfect cure for that hangover with a traditional funfair, dog sledding, open air ice skating and numerous speciality shops selling all kinds of tempting local snacks, souvenirs and gifts.

With more restaurants per capita than anywhere else in the UK, revellers will certainly not go hungry on a New Years Eve in Edinburgh. Special festive menus of every description are available in the myriad of elegant dining rooms, cafes and taverns catering to all taste buds from European specialities, oriental and Asian delights and traditional Caledonian food such as succulent game dishes, stews and Scottish salmon. Most hotels have gala dinner evenings on the 1st of January along with traditional Scottish entertainment.
