Edinburgh's Hogmanay 2020 - Online Celebration
Fare Well is a new poem by Jackie Kay that bids farewell to 2020 and wishes a better year for 2021
Narrated by David Tennant and others, Fare Well underscores the UK’s largest swarm drone display, recorded in the Scottish Highlands and cut to spectacular views above Edinburgh.
Part One of Fare Well looks at the year gone by - the funerals and weddings cancelled, the griefs and despairs which have been collective, with a feeling that the world has become a village.
We at Celestial are really proud of the work and of the whole team that brought this together. Thanks to all the folks who commented and shed a tear. That’s a huge complement for us and it make the hard work worth it...
What drones do you use?
It was a brilliant piece of work, so frustrating that the much hyped live link let it down. I was touting this to family and friends all over the world only to be left feeling I'd let them down. Thank goodness for TH-cam! Well done to everyone concerned!
Wonderful thank you xxx

@@dannythomson5239 don’t want one, I’ve got a couple of dji ones and was wondering which ones they used
I could watch that stag running through the sky for hours....so beautiful
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.
Who ever you are that is a script that Hollywood couldn’t refuse 💙
Pitch 100% perfect. Thanks to all. Sitting here stunned and emotional.
I love Scotland.
I'm a Scottish Kiwi that spiral before the key was a koru for me. The Maori symbol derived from the unfurling fern frond which symbolises birth, renewal, hope.
Thankyou for sharing this.

That’s lovely ☺️
Sharing today with my hospital team here in the USA. Simply beautiful.
Awesome, tears rolling down my cheeks. By far, the best yt video I've ever watched. My Great, Great Grandfather emigrated from Scotland to the US. I hope/pray I can visit your beautiful country before I leave this earth.
you absolutely must go, I am an Italian in love with Scotland and who comes back every year
Words fail me. This is simply beautiful and emotional , but spells out what an adopted Scot loves about this land.
You have touched my Scottish Soul - body may be in France, but I am with all my fellow Scots at the end of the year...
Hope to see you soon Scotland.
The world misses you !!
Greetings from the Netherlands xxx
Stay safe!!!
Today the world looks to Scotland for love. Thank yoy for raising our hearts and minds on this historic night.
I'm not Scottish but I spend any significant time I can up in the Highlands and Islands, admiring the majesty and beauty of Scotland's landscape and wildlife. In fact, I should have been up there as I type this now so these incredible videos, whilst making me miss it even more, have allowed me 15 minutes of escapism - a chance to dream of the next time I'm able to cross the border again to the lands I love so much. Beautiful work, thank you 😍👏🏼
Scotland has a special place in my heart. Thank you for this beautiful piece of art, had me in tears. Much love from Germany.
I'm Dutch but i'm crying my eyeballs out here, its so touchingly beautifull!
Sitting in India, marvelling at this magical video...we are one and our sentiments the same.
Scotland The Brave
Scotland The Strong
Scotland The Beautiful
Scotland The Wondrous
Scotland .........FOREVER
Amazing Video Thank you ❤️
I live in hope that i will be able to make the move up from England to Bonnie Scotlands West coast in the Spring of 2021 and make a home in the best Country on earth bar none 🏴
This makes me nostalgic for highland skies I’ve never seen, for mists I’ve never been wrapped in, for air I’ve naiver breathed. Some things make your soul ache and simultaneously fill it up. Thankyou for this. I’m not far from you X

love from edinburgh to everyone this new year
I keep watching all 3 parts of this stunning, artistic and highly moving display. I had no idea that something so breathtaking was possible. But for covid we might not have seen this wonder so I am strangely grateful to a deadly virus - for a moment. I never thought that could or would happen. I'm also so grateful to Celestial for their expertise and for all concerned in making such beauty to delight the senses and bring renewed hope. I'm immensley proud to live in Scotland.
Excellent and David Tennant could read a menu and make it sound awe inspiring
Absolutely beautiful and enchanting. Thank you so much...
Thank you so much for this great beauty. It speaks to everyone but especially to those emigrant Scots everywhere in the world. So poetic. Making an entirely new art form. Sacred.
That Stag running across the sky was incredible ❤️❤️❤️
Lovely, watching and listening from Glasgow,
Scotland . 🏴
Quite outstanding and memorable for those of us lucky to live in this amazing City and for Scots the World over. We shall overcome 🏴
Makes me regret I am not Scottish. No mistake... I love my Freesian heritage, but this totally tops it off. Love it! ❤️❤️❤️
Happy New Year my Dear Edinburgh... Happy New Year my Country

Most beautiful!? Eeeeeer, that is highly contested by soooo many beautiful countries. I probably put Japan at the top for now.
@@danielwhyatt3278 Scotland has been voted by conde vast,ccn travel, rough guide etc as the most beautiful country on a number of occassions I am not disputing the fact that there are many beautful countries but the fact is clear on travel reviews.Never been to Japan must try it .
A unique combination of humanity, beauty, and nostalgia.. no wonder we were all weeping..
The time, effort, money and artistry employed in achieving this. And yet the medium diminishes it. Beautiful words and beautiful images.
Truly poetic, wish we had that in France.
Absolutely beautiful. Proud to be a Scot 🏴🏴🏴❤️
A very proud Scot, living in the US,, sends congrats, what a beautiful tribute to an arduous year and with hope for our New Year.
Well done Scotland, simply stunning..

It must have been really special and amazing to all those who randomly witnessed this happening irl.
The display was filmed piece by piece in remote Highland areas and then superimposed on views of Edinburgh and its surrounds.
Fantastic! Congratulations on the work!
This wonderful Scotland that I fell in love with!
Next year, I hope to carry the torch through the streets of Edinburgh
Absolutely stunning display and an emotionally moving video. The poem so perfectly echoed the sentiment of the year, and yes, I was brought to tears. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Lord willing, I will be playing bagpipes at the Edinburgh Tattoo in 2021. Here's to Scotland and a brighter future for us all. xox
I hope you get to 😊

The stag in motion was brilliant. Great video and story-telling.

I know that first tune!
The Old Ghost's Waltz, by Archie Macfarlane of Skye. Bravo!
What a stunningly beautiful, moving, creative piece of art - of our time but a clever mix of old and new. At last - a good reason to remember 2020! Well done to all xx

This is poetry in its purest form, congratulations for this amazing outstanding artwork, Scotland 🏴, the land of the brave and beauty
The brightest thing in the sky last night was Jackie Kay`s voice, beautiful words, delivered with true passion and conviction.
Jackie represents everything Scottish, our culture, our history, our people and welcoming sprit.
In the far distance, if you listen very carefully, you can hear Burn`s saying " I like this Lassie"
Phenomenal production, well done to everyone involved.
Fantastic work I am so looking forward to the next few nights, a true representation of the Scottish spirit and talent within our nation.Well done on your inspirational work.Thank you .
This is just beautiful, my brother was an honorary Scotsman. He will be greatly missed ♥️
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you.
Someone mentioned the song is the "The Old Ghosts Waltz" written by Archie MacFarlane. This was a carefully curated memorial, and for those who lost someone this year but could not give them the send off they deserved, I'd like to say thank you. This should about do it.
Archie MacFarlane writes some great stuff!!!
Yes Nicola, the tune in the first half is ‘The Old Ghost’s Waltz’- I was happy to be part of this after such a difficult year. A great collaborative project all round - here’s to 2021!
@@thisiswhyyi Do you realise what a bugger it is to find the original song online? LOL! Thank you, it's a beautiful tune and it was exactly what was needed. Happy new year to you and I hope 2021 brings better times.
Is it possible to purchase the version of The Old Ghosts Waltz from this video anywhere?
@@fraserhogg3699 Hi Fraser, the only version available to purchase is on the Back on the Floor charity CD which features 17 tracks from some great Highland musicians - available at www.backonthefloor.com Hope that helps!
