Thousands of visitors will...
Sergeant Shannon the District Gunner will be firing Mons Meg at midnight on Hogmanay as Brian McKenzie the Chairman of the One o’ Clock Gun & Time Ball Association drops the time ball on the Nelson Monument. The Association’s mascot Blue won’t be at the monument to assist Brian as he’s on holiday in Buckie. If you’re on the Calton Hill to see the fireworks don’t hesitate to wish Brian a happy New Year. When Greyfriars Bobby was alive the citizens gathered at the Tron Kirk to welcome the New Year. They would then go first footing which meant visiting their friends and relations to wish them a happy New Year. All the best for 2010. |
