No not bagpipe drones – the flying kind. Just in case you don’t know, Hogmanay is how Scots welcome in the New Year. This is the first time I’ve seen a drone display that beats fireworks. „Hogmanay is the Scottish name for new year celebrations…. Dr Donna Heddle, an expert from the University of the Highlands and Islands, explained: „The name could also come from the Anglo-Saxon ‚haleg monath‘ meaning ‚holy month‘.“ Some say it could come from the Scandinavian ‚hoggo-nott‘ meaning ‚yule'“ Whatever the name, there are usually fireworks, but this year Edinburgh city used drones and it was the most effective display I’ve seen.
