2008 Hogmanay Fireworks, Edinburgh

Kimbolton Fireworks were honoured to be given the task of producing the Hogmanay firework spectacular to see in the New Year in Edinburgh. At the strike of midnight the pyrotechnic teams fired a stunning synchronised bombardment from Edinburgh Castle, Princes Street Gardens and the seven hills surrounding the city to herald the beginning of 2008. The notorious weather managed to hold off allowing in excess of 100’000 revellers packed in to Princes Street to be treated to one of the UK’s largest firework displays set against the awesome Castle backdrop.

This elaborate pyrotechnic performance consisted of 3’900 cues from a total of 71 locations triggered by nine FireOne™ digital firing systems over an intense 3 minutes and 40 seconds. Our team of 35 people worked diligently for six days to ensure resounding success in our part of this world-renowned event.
