An Edinburgh Hogmanay favourite has been cut from the 2022 programme due to the economic climate and a “drop in available funding.”
The Hogmanay Torchlight Procession has been a mainstay feature of the festival, and has been the traditional kick off to the three day event since the first official events nearly 30 years ago.
According to a local travel blogger, the procession is “a fiery spectacle where over 20,000 torch-bearers carry burning candles through the city centre to celebrate the coming new year.”
