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.
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.
@@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.
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 🙋♂️
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!
Fantastic job to all that made this possible!!!! I was at many of the places in this video 3 years ago and I can't say enough great things about Scotland and it's people!!!!! Till we meet again....Cheers !
What wonderful, healing words. My goodness, in so many ways Scotland is the both the beating heart and thinking head of these Isles. Happy Hogmanay 2020!
These displays make me proud to be Scottish. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making the start of 2021 so memorable and encouragingly positive 🥰💖
Amazing artistic technology, paying tribute to the past while giving hope for the future. Well done Scotland, only a taste of what is possible for you!
How very beautiful this is! Well done! Gave me goosebumps. Thanks for making this, I'll be here for part 3. Happy new year to all! Greetings from Holland 🇳🇱
In such a sad year it is nice to stop and remind oneself what a beautiful, creative country and city I live in. Especially useful to remember that "we" is many, We share the same stars the same planet. Thankyou.

I'm a Scot in Sydney. This is a very impressive project. Makes me yearn more for the time I was meant to have there in 2020. Well done to the techs, the creatives, and the funders.
So beautiful... It is so much better than fireworks indeed. Just the technology and the synchronization of the drones was fantastic. Well done . Wish they would do this in the States.
And all the years that I've watched New year's Eve celebrations from all over the world for decades now..... This is by far my favorite not just because they are using AI technology but because of the originality and the beauty and the purity and the complex simplicity and the perfect accompanying words to it all This one trumps everything
I think this video is beautiful and I won’t be upset to leave 2020 behind and look forward to hopefully a better 2021 to getting rid of covid and the misery it’s brought to people
Just amazing and mesmerising!! I'm immensely proud to be Scottish and of my beautiful home town! Happy New Year! May it be a safe and blessed one for us all! 😊😘
“ Air fair an la” by niteworks being used well.👍 Music was also used on Edinburgh Castle festival of light last year. Filmed not far from the Commando monument lochaber on a private estate. Outstanding work.
Wonderful sights and heart touching words.. thank you so much for this. Its it possible to release a combined video of both parts for sharing with kith and kin around the world? ❤🏴
Very impressive - tho a wee bit disappointed to find it wasn't actually filmed above Edinburgh but was added on to shote of Edinburgh (see the credit at 3:59).

Breathtaking. Way to go Scotland! Love, love, love....
Beautiful and moving. Diolch yn fawr from north Wales
Beautiful 💙Love the music! Good wishes to you all.-
Beautiful, better than fireworks, well done Scotland!
Better than fireworks in many ways.
Fireworks really suck. I have PTSD, and our cats hide. Lighted drones look so cool.
After the light show, the drones can then be used to ensure your obeying covid 1984 rules
Yes kinder to people and animals
Spot on Jockie
I'm a Scot in Sydney. This is a very impressive project. Makes me yearn more for the time I was meant to have there in 2020. Well done to the techs, the creatives, and the funders.
So brilliant and touching and mesmerizing - Well done to all three Edinburgh
HAPPY New Year for 2021!

Beautiful. Makes me want to move to Edinburgh (I'm in Newcastle, on the wrong side of the border).
I moved from Newcastle to Edinburgh 17 years ago. ❤️
I'm up Edinburgh way, love Newcastle, always felt very welcome there
I’d be happy to live anywhere in Scotland. The US has become so corrupt, so wrong, so hopeless. Be glad ya live in Bonnie Scotland, friends!
Hello from Newcastle too! We're lucky it's only 1.5 hours on the train... when this is all over I'll be getting back as much as possible!
You'd be most welcome. Plenty of Geordies here already.
Happy New Year Proud Scotland.
