The ancient Fireballs ceremony at the Scottish fishing village of Stonehaven, is one of the most unique Hogmanay festivals in Scotland. At midnight the High Street is lit up as around sixty local fireball-swingers make their way, swinging their fireballs attached to wire ropes above their heads, through their town. The swingers, all of whom must reside in the burgh, are accompanied by pipes and drums to the harbour where the balls are then thrown into the sea.
