Yeh the words of our makar were so poignant. As we say in Scotland we're a` freens. Meaning we're all friends. Happy new year. Here's tae a better wan 💖🏴
Scotland rocks. Makes me proud to a part of humanity as a plural and not singular. And the 50 trolls that gave this a dislike ...well I guess you don’t get invited to parties much do you.
Some folk merely exist to complain about something, unjustifiably, in many cases. It's the old "glass half full, or glass half empty" thing. Perhaps both views miss the point that, in a civilised, friendly society, someone will happily top up your glass. 🙂
thank you -" we send out hope into this Scottish air - by those who care, by those who march to ring the dangers, who've clocked the dangers" - spectacular
Watched the entire thing with tears streaming down my face. The love and work and artistry and creativity that went into making this shine through as brightly as those beautiful, ethereal "light animations". It's a masterpiece - at once deeply personal and homely but also universal and inclusive. Bravo!
This is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. The lyrics, the illustrations, the music, the programming and all the different pieces that went into this artwork are all superb in their own category.

As a patriot Scot this is what we’re all about! Gorgeous and breath taking display, all involved should be very proud of what you’ve created. Alba gu brath.
Without doubt the most creative and poignant Hogmanay message ever!!! I think I have something in my eye. The whole world is Scottish on Hogmanay and even more so after this wonderful piece. Thank You All!
A superb production, visually breathtaking and aurally beautiful too. Such a wonderful way to demonstrate all that has been and all that will be as we move into 2021. For all who have lost and suffered, worked tirelessly to support us and cared for others, we stand by you. Such emotive poetry performed with sensitivity. Thank you to all involved for giving us this gift 🎉🏴🍻🥃❤
This is amazing! Now, 45 years since I drove to Scottish Highlands along with my brother over the Forth Bridge on A9 to Blair Atholl-Inverness-Gairloch from Finland. Happy New Year!
This is so beautiful! I really wish the fireworks displays will eventually become redundant. Congratulations to everyone involved in this precious project. I had tears in my eyes.
I am honestly wonderstruck, your innovative light show and such poetic words reflecting our united thoughts of our long past traditions, struggles of this trying year, yet our hopes of a better tomorrow made me experience a wonderment like a child again. I wept when I saw the words Scotland over the castle, I felt emotional seeing my hometown, and I feel so proud that Scotland could share such a heartfelt message to seal the end of 2020 in such an innovative and creative way to share with the world. Well done to all the teams involved, you’ve done our nation proud. Lang may yer lum reek 🏴🥃🎉
@@cantbendknee You are wrong "The word itself has been around since at least 1604 when it first appeared in written records." Scottish troops that I knew stationed in Berlin in the early 1980s celebrated Hogmanay!!! So , NO it is not just a "tourist" thing!!!
Funny. I’m from Canada, but did business in Germany and the love of my life was from Scotland (didn’t work out). Love this video, but also breaks my Heart. Peace and love to everyone across the globe, and Linda, if you see this, know you are in my thoughts and heart.
That's outstanding, & done with the Heart that could only be done by the Scots. So nicely done, cannot wait for lockdown to end, so I can revisit my Bonnie Scotland.
Need to be reminded daily of the possibility of concerted beauty to heal people's hearts and minds...so uplifting and lovely. Thank-you to all the artists and others who made this experience possible.
Well done to everyone on the production of this amazing project. It has to be regarded as one of the most poignant and innovative New Year message that resonates around the globe. Simply stunning !
A wee tear comes to me eye on such beauty I have seen in the sky. Thank you Scotland as we breath in a new year's air from us all. A round at Ryan’s when I can return. Again thank you.
What a moving, empathetic event! It certainly got to the bottom of the issue and so exquisitely expressed it. I was so moved by this Hogmanay - seeing the reality for so many being recognised and respected really lifted me up with hope for the future! Thank you!
So beautiful and sad in the same breath. more special than any firework display could ever be. A grown-up prayer of loss and found and a kinder way for our environment and to us all. I loved this so much more than all the noise of a usual New Year. The poetry was stunning with a gentle slumber into another year. Thank you, Scotland for showing a better way, for humanity.
Oh for a bit of heat. -2 last night here in Scotland. I was proud when I heard what was going to be done for hogmanay. Happy New Year to our Australian brothers n sisters. Saor Alba gu br`th ( Free scotland)🏴
This was wholly inspiring. I never imagined something as good as this could be put together. It's a stunning piece of collaborative art that is much more than the sum of its parts, and speaks not just to each of us as individuals, Scots, but as a collective humanity in what has been the most difficult year that we have lived through since the second World War. Not so much the traditional Hogmanay food of whisky and black bun, but sustenance for the soul. A humble thank you to all involved.
Very well done. I luvd the words as they were sed by the guy and gal. The music was great anaw, the sounds of the violin and chanter gave me a lump in my throat.
Wow. Wow. Wow. Tears running down my face watching this. Brilliantly stunning work, that. A great thought to carry throughout the year. Thank you. God bless.
What a wonderful end to a disastrous year,simply stunning, the imagery and the placement over the Forth Rail Bridge, the lovely bird flying above Scott,s Monument was very angelic, also the words spoken were extremely poignant for us all. So well done all who made this spectacular and better than fireworks I thought👍👍👍🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️
Thank you to all involved for this beautiful and poignant message. I hope my friends in Edinburgh had as good a view as I did from across the pond. Missing you and my family so far away. Bright blessings to all for this new year.
Oh Scotland 🏴, how we've missed you this year.. Lochs, mountains, glens, the people, the wildlife... We can't wait to return 💙
B E A U T I F U !!!! We´ll keep a light on for you in the EU! Greetings from Austria and all the best!
Magical and SO poignant! Getting such a strong message across in an innovative way! Proud to be a Scot and from Edinburgh. 💙🏴
So beautiful ❤️
The first time I watched I was in awe, the second time brought tears to my eyes - so beautiful Thank you Scotland!
Yeh the words of our makar were so poignant. As we say in Scotland we're a` freens. Meaning we're all friends. Happy new year. Here's tae a better wan 💖🏴
I have watched it 7 times since the new year, tears every single time.
We haven't stopped thinking of Scotland since we visited 3 years ago. Love it, miss it, can't wait to return.
It’s an amazing place - really leaves its mark on you!
Just stunning! I cried. The music - the poetry - the hope for the future.- beautifully done.
OMG, I am so proud of my Scots heritage. Thank you from my Hebridean heart.
Scotland rocks. Makes me proud to a part of humanity as a plural and not singular. And the 50 trolls that gave this a dislike ...well I guess you don’t get invited to parties much do you.
There's just no way you can actually not LOVE this.. so amazing

This and light shows should be the future. A lot more environmentally friendly than fireworks.
Here, here Mathew! Speak this out loud where it can be heard! I still heard fireworks where I live!!
It's not "should be"... it is the future. After this one there will be a boom, mark my words!
@Adam A-K which Olympics would that be? Could you get a link for me? I would like to see it please!
Fireworks are also terribly frightening for animals. That's why I hate them! This light show is awe inspiring and emotional.
It’s just incredible - hard to believe this is possible. I absolutely prefer the look to fireworks as well, win-win! 😊
thank you -" we send out hope into this Scottish air - by those who care, by those who march to ring the dangers, who've clocked the dangers" - spectacular
Happy Hogmanay to our close European neighbours! Well done Scottish Arts! A beautiful and moving collaboration in which the medium is the message.
Fantastic ! Thank you ! 🙏👍👏👏👏
Another excellent reason for loving and appreciating Scotland !!!
Incredible, hats off to all those involved. Brought a lump to my throat. 🏴

Did you come yet mate

Thank you, Scotland and Underbelly for an amazing light show.
Loved seeing this display! What a great alternative to fireworks - and way more impressive in my opinion!
Just amazing! How could anyone NOT like this? I am in tears, and so damn proud to be Scottish.

Hello
Yeah, you weren’t the only one to cry to see *Scotland* over Edinburgh Castle.
My old home town seems so far away..
How is that even possible? I will watch this again and again. Awesome.
Dear Underbelly Ltd, thank you for that. You did yourselves, and Edinburgh, proud. What a show. Many thanks.
Many thanks to the "drone pilots" for their magical show.
Words like these make you proud to be Scottish 🏴. Amazing display. Would love to see this every year! Happy New Year to all!
