Ceilidh dancing is one of the best ways ever invented to keep warm. Even if Hogmanay 2009 itself proves a little chilly, this outdoor event will certainly banish those brrrrrs right away!

Two stages, the Mound Square and the Ceilidh Dance Floor, give this event’s variety of acts a chance to experiment. Modern music and traditional folk music are mixed with great skill by past performers like Salsa Celtica. A truly international feel is given to proceedings as both party-goers and performers come from around the globe to see in the New Year as only Edinburgh knows how. Plus home-grown talent is definitely supported here, with The Occasionals being a recent example of a cracking Scottish dance band.

Get caught up in the buzz while having your own separate event. You’ll be able to witness the busyness of the Edinburgh Hogmanay 2009 Princes Street Party from your position in the East Princes Street Gardens and Mound Square. But you can also choose from quiet to more vibrant Edinburgh serviced apartments’ locations, and check out what Edinburgh accommodation specials ScottishApartment.com has for you!

Families, couples and groups will all find something to light their fire at this open-air extravaganza. Be it trance mixed with accordions or bagpipes so arch in their melodies that it will bring a tear to your eye, everyone will find this a fantastic choice for your end-of-year bash!

Just don’t forget to bring some shortbread and coal for your first-footing, another traditional Scottish custom.
