First NYE in Edinburgh
by Dirt4fun
This is my first trip to Scotland. I'll be in Edinburgh over New Years. From my understanding, most of the fun and excitement happens on Princes street, so I got a hotel room near there. Does anyone have any advice on where to hit on NYE? What is the dress of the general area (black tie, casual, in-between)?
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction...

You'll only need a black tie if you're going somewhere very posh (which you would already have booked...little chance of getting anywhere at this last stage).
Good advice above: warm waterproof coat, layers, hat/scarf/gloves essential if you intend being outside for any length of time. :-)
If you want to celebrate mainly inside then casual or smart casual will work fine, according to where you go.

The party on Princes St is ticket only and it has been cancelled at the last minute several times in recent years due to poor weather. Lots of the popular bars require tickets for entry on Hogmonay but you should be able to find a few places. Le Monde has always ran entry on a first through the door basis. I'd suggest trawling the websites to see what's available.

Thanks for the info all. I just picked up a ticket for the street party, hopefully, it doesn't get canceled. I'm traveling alone, so I don't think I'll have much issue getting a ticket for someplace.
Cheers...
