Get this year's Edinburgh's Hogmanay off to a sizzling start at the Torchlight Procession. It begins at Parliament Square on the Royal Mile wher, if you have booked online you can collect your torches or, for those late-comers, purchase one while stocks last. Follow the Lerwick Up Helly Aa Vikings and The Clann, join thousands of others (almost 20,000 last year!) and create a spectacular river of fire through the city along Princes Street and up Calton Hill.

Once at the top of Calton Hill, things really heat up with the ceremonial burning of the Viking long-ship as well as this year's wicker and willow effigy, a symbol of our links to 2007 - The Year of Highland Culture, a glorious Stag.

All proceeds go to the One City Trust and Radio Forth's Help a Child Appeal, which helps children across Edinburgh, the Lothians and Fife.

The Torchlight Procession is an outdoor event featuring wax-based torches. Please dress appropriately.
