Last night the capital was awoken with loud bangs from all around the city as Edinburgh locals brought in Chinese New Year with a bang celebrating by setting off fireworks.
Revellers across the city set off fireworks as they welcomed the beginning of a new lunar year despite the wild weather brought on by Storm Corrie.
The storm brought 70mph winds that battered the city but the bright illuminations still lit up the sky and could be heard across Edinburgh which was the talk amongst locals online last night.
