Stonehaven's Fireball Festival begins at midnight, with giant balls of fire swung by participants in a parade down the High Street, attracting visitors from around the world. • Other cities across Scotland, such as Aberdeen, Glasgow and Stirling have large organised celebrations too, including fireworks at midnight. • BBC Scotlandbroadcast the celebrations in Edinburgh to a Scottish audience, with the celebrations also screened across the world.
