Pagan holiday since the time of the Vikings celebrated torchlight procession and all sorts of fun with fire, which is traditionally considered to be the first means to drive away evil spirits. Hogmanay is celebrated for four days. In the capital the streets of Edinburgh leaves virtually the entire population of the city. Fireworks, bonfires, fire balls, huge torches, which are worn by people in military clothes Vikings - that's what Hogmanay.
