Hogmanay Live! - Happy New Year 2006 from Scotland. See the fireworks go off Live from Edinburgh castle, normally the biggest New year party in the world. This year no Cannon Gun was fired by Tam the Gun (look him up on Google) he died, so for the first New Year in many years there was no gun fired on the hour chime, Tam's whisky lay waiting and a lone piper played as the Fireworks went off as a mark of respect.
