A cherished Edinburgh night, it's the big one for glamour and kilts... indeed, if you're looking for a truly top Scottish NYE event, you've just found it.

Treat yourself to a breathtaking night to end the old year and bring in the new – in the Capital's finest civic venue. There is, quite literally, nowhere else in town to compare. Twin ballrooms await you, sparkling in winter décor.

There's a top, professional live ceilidh band in each magnificent ballroom: one is traditional, one contemporary.
