When it's cold:
Go to Princes Street at New Year

New Year has a different name in Scotland: Hogmanay, and the Hogmanay Party in Princes Street is famous all over the world. Thousands of people join in the fun, and you can buy hot food and drinks all night. At midnight, everyone sings a traditional New Year's song called Auld Lang Syne, and then they watch some fantastic fireworks from Edinburgh Castle.
