Al Thomson of Unique Assembly, City of Edinburgh Council leader Cammy Day, and Superintendent David Robertson talk about the return of Edinburgh's Hogmanay celebrations. Organisers of Edinburgh’s Hogmanay are hoping to avoid a new year washout, with heavy rain forecast to have passed by the time revellers ring in 2023. The world famous celebration has been cancelled due to Covid for the past two years, but on Saturday a sell-out crowd of 30,000 are set to bring in the new year in Princes Street as part of the three-day event. Al Thompson, director of organisers Unique Assembly, said the worst of expected bad weather should have passed, but he urged party-goers to wrap up warm for the festivities.
