Edinburgh Hogmanay street party tickets still available | |
(about 1 hour later) | |
Organisers of Edinburgh's Hogmanay celebrations have said tickets for the Scottish capital's street party event are still available. | |
Three days of new year festivities are set to kick off on 30 December. | |
Tens of thousands of visitors are expected to attend and police asked party-goers to be aware of safety threats, but not be alarmed. | |
The main street party was sold out last year and other events around this year's street party have sold out. | |
A midnight fireworks display will welcome in 2016, with the traditional mass rendition of Auld Lang Syne to follow. | |
For safety reasons, Calton Hill will be closed off to people hoping to see the fireworks display at midnight. | |
Police Scotland said they were being "vigilant" over the current severe terrorism threat to the UK - but there was no specific threat to Scotland or Hogmanay. |
