The church bells ringing until dawn are a constant reminder that the point is to stay up all night. The kids participate, too. December 31st is the only day of the year in Scotland when pubs are open all night, so you can imagine that the lager-lout culture is in full swing. The roots of Hogmanay are obscure. The center of Edinburgh is a quick 10-km taxi ride from the Edinburgh International Airport.
Most activities are within walking distance.
It is located in the center of the Hogmanay madness. Or just plant yourself at the Abbotsford Pub, at 3 Rose Street, to begin soaking up the local culture.
