    Edinburgh's Hogmanay 2020 - Online Celebration
    Fare Well is a new poem by Jackie Kay that bids farewell to 2020 and wishes a better year for 2021
    Narrated by David Tennant and others, Fare Well underscores the UK’s largest swarm drone display, recorded in the Scottish Highlands and cut to spectacular views above Edinburgh.
    Part One of Fare Well looks at the year gone by - the funerals and weddings cancelled, the griefs and despairs which have been collective, with a feeling that the world has become a village.

    Gone the ear shattering explosions disturbing man and beast, instead, a feast of poetic peace. Gone, the repetitive blinding flashes on the eye and gone the sulfurous, sickly smells, which once permeated crystal clear Scottish air, as now in awe we gaze upon the triumphant unmatched display, heralding in Scotland's New Year.

    I keep watching all 3 parts of this stunning, artistic and highly moving display. I had no idea that something so breathtaking was possible. But for covid we might not have seen this wonder so I am strangely grateful to a deadly virus - for a moment. I never thought that could or would happen. I'm also so grateful to Celestial for their expertise and for all concerned in making such beauty to delight the senses and bring renewed hope. I'm immensley proud to live in Scotland.

    I'm not Scottish but I spend any significant time I can up in the Highlands and Islands, admiring the majesty and beauty of Scotland's landscape and wildlife. In fact, I should have been up there as I type this now so these incredible videos, whilst making me miss it even more, have allowed me 15 minutes of escapism - a chance to dream of the next time I'm able to cross the border again to the lands I love so much. Beautiful work, thank you 😍👏🏼
