Scottish photographer captures 'brilliant' fire festival dating back 300 years

A Scottish photographer has shared "brilliant" photos of a fire festival held in a small coastal town.

Clare Hogan captured the intense photos on January 11 in the midst of the event dating back to at least the 1750s and shared the snaps on Facebook.

Burghead is located approximately eight miles north-west of Elgin on the shores of the Moray Firth. It has a population of under 2,000, but once a year hosts a unique festival that sees crowds gather to bring in the New Year.
