Midnight Fireworks and Worlds Biggest Auld Lang Syne

Edinburgh’s Hogmanay says “Hello Twenty Ten” in spectacular fashion as the world famous fireworks and laser display lights up the skies above Edinburgh from the Castle and Calton Hill.

Auld Lang Syne

As the bells strike midnight, join hands with friends from all across the world in a mass Street Party rendition of Auld Lang Syne… all together now, ‘Should auld acquaintance be forgot….’

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne?

Chorus
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll tak a cup o kindness yet,
For auld lang syne!

And here's a hand my trusty fiere
{JOIN CROSSED HANDS}
And gies a hand o thine
We'll tak a right guid-willie waught,
For auld lang syne

Chorus x 2
