It’s all in the timing for hotels, I think. And public transport is so easy (and I think some is even free on NYE) that staying outside the center is still nice.

Thank you! We did miss out on the concerts and stuff, but I’m not usually into that stuff anyway. I definitely recommend it.

I don’t particularly remember freezing on Calton Hill. The whole time we were in Edinburgh it was extremely windy (which lead to our arriving flight having to wait to land and our departing flight being delayed one day because of the weather). So, it’s quite possible that I was numb to the cold by then!

It was reassuring seeing kids of all ages there, and those without kids were all in good spirits, so definitely a good place for families!

Magical is the perfect word to explain it!

That is way more people that I would thought would do this – and what a magical sounding event. Sometimes the simplest events are the most special.

Ann, thanks for sharing your experience at Hogmany with a young child. It is a festival that we are definitely interested in going to one day but with three young children ourselves I was not sure whether it is a child friendly event. Therefore thank you for confirming that it is an event that we could readily take our children!

We just went to Edinburgh in November – loved it! I’m not one for big crowds but since this one’s not a mad rush (or a boring wait), it sounds like we’d be up for it! Did you freeze on Calton Hill? I remember it being quite windy up there!

That looks really cool and something we considered! We visited Edinburgh a few months ago for the first time and loved it (though the food is pretty similar to what we eat in Ireland). It’s a shame the hotels are on the pricey side there, that’s the only downside because from Dublin we can fly there super cheap!
