Happy New Year from Castle of Light

In the absence of the roar of Edinburgh’s Hogmanay street party, Rex, the lovable lion rampant, has taken centre stage to wish everyone a Happy New Year on behalf of Castle of Light.

Rex is on the decks playing a short set from the Castle of Light: Hidden Treasures’ finale scene, including samples from some of the recent treasured music acts that have played at the Edinburgh Castle esplanade, such as Blondie, Simply Red and The Proclaimers, in a megamix fit for bringing in the bells.

With just a few dates remaining to experience the outdoor illuminated trail, find out more and get your tickets at CastleofLight.scot.

Castle of Light: Hidden Treasures continues on 7, 8 and 9 January 2022.

A Happy, Healthy and Peaceful New Year to all our readers

RING OUT, WILD BELLS

Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky,
The flying cloud, the frosty light;
The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.

Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.

Ring Out Wild Bells by Alfred Lord Tennyson
